The event will focus on state-of-art research in photochemistry and photophysics, gathering leading scientists in the field.
Topics
- Fundamental photochemistry and photophysics
- New frontier in ultrafast photochemistry (ultrafast electronic and structural dynamics using atto- and/or femto-second lasers, SR beam, XFEL etc.)
- Photochemistry using nano- or micro-structures (plasmon, metasurface, microcavity etc.)
- Photochemistry for biology and medicine (natural photosynthesis, photoimmunotherapy etc.)
- Photochemistry towards carbon neutral (solar fuel, solar cell, artificial photosynthesis etc.)
- Photocatalytic reaction (photocatalysis for environment and/or organic synthesis, photoredox catalyst etc.)
- Spectroscopy of single molecules, nanostructures, and small domains
- New concepts and methods in theoretical photochemistry
- Photochemistry for photonic devices and biophotonics (OLED, photonic materials for display, advanced luminescent materials, photochromic materials, bioimaging and its methodology, etc.)
