Meeting Overview
The The Gordon Research Seminar on Fundamentals of Nanomaterials: Synthesis and Photophysics is a new addition to the Gordon Research Conference. This seminar will provide a unique and ideal environment for graduate students and postdoctoral research scientists to present, discuss and exchange ideas in their fields of research.
The GRS will be focused on new synthetic methodologies for creating a variety of nanocrystals and nanosystems. A session on fundamental photophysics of nanoscale materials, specifically charge and energy transfer and, single and multiple exciton relaxation dynamics, will also be presented.
The GRS will feature a panel discussion on career options for PhDs and a keynote speaker on Nanomaterials for Energy.
Application Instructions
The meeting will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
The Chairs will select speakers from abstracts submitted by May 3, 2013. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Deadline section above.
