Probing the Microscopic Structures and Dynamics of Molecular and Ionic Clusters

The Gordon Research Seminar on Molecular and Ionic Clusters is an opportunity for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career scientists with comparable levels of education and experience to gather in a casual environment and to present and exchange new and innovative ideas through their latest research findings via an oral and/or poster presentation.

This meeting will focus on the most current progress of deciphering the structure and dynamics of molecular and ionic clusters, which will range in size as well as temperature regimes, through the use of spectroscopic and theoretical probes. It provides a safe environment for both young experimentalists and theoreticians to discuss their novel research within the field. This meeting will also provide a forum for attendees to discover and discuss future possible career paths with experts in a wide range of professions and backgrounds. To strive towards a mission of equality, inclusivity and diversity within all aspects of the field, this meeting will contain a diverse career panel to discuss ways in which to open the community to being receptive and becoming more all-inclusive.
