Moving to the Future at the Speed of Light

This GRC brings together a diverse research community with broad interests in multifaceted aspects of light-mater interactions spanning from fundamental science to applied engineering. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of photochemistry and its global impacts, the program encompasses presentations on photonics and advanced spectroscopy, biophotonics and biomedical applications of light, solar-energy science and engineering, photocatalysis and photoelectrochemistry, modern optical materials and devices, and theory of excited-state dynamics. The selected speakers include internationally renowned leaders in their fields, as well as investigators at the early- and mid-stages of their careers, from a range of different countries. Graduate students and postdocs who participate in the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Photochemistry will also have the opportunity to participate in the GRC. Via a rigorous process during the conference, two to three poster presenters will be selected to give short talks at the last session of the GRC. At the beginning of the sessions, the discussion leaders will present an overview of the particular area covered in each session in order to provide a beneficial context to the audience of attendees from a broad range of different disciplines. In addition to the ample Q/A time after each talk, panel discussions with all speakers at the end of the sessions will bring out the broad impacts of the field and its future directions for advancing the frontiers of science.

Due to limited accommodations at this venue, guest housing is very limited. To request family/guest housing please reach out to your Conference Operations Associate.
