Structure-Function Relationships of Noble Metal Nanomaterials from Design Principles to Diverse Applications

The Gordon Research Seminar on Noble Metal Nanoparticles is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new ideas in a collaborative environment focused on scientific discovery. With that in mind, this meeting will promote discussion of current advances in the field of noble metal nanomaterials including novel synthetic approaches, advanced microscopy techniques, and a broad range of applications including but not limited to catalytic, optical, and biological subfields. Through the inclusion of selected talks, enthusiastic discussion leaders, and relevant posters we hope to facilitate an engaging environment where collaboration and networking are fostered. Throughout the GRS, several noteworthy representatives from both academia and industry will be in attendance to facilitate conversation and give insight to student participants. At the conclusion of the meeting, seminar attendees will participate in a writing workshop that focuses on cover letter writing with feedback from the mentoring committee.
