Further information
Light-matter interaction is responsible for some of the most appealing effects in the physics of materials, which are also essential for most opto-electronic applications pervading our everyday life. From a fundamental point of view, light-matter interaction is a valuable source of information for understanding the microscopic properties of materials on a quantum-mechanical level.
We aim to bring together a selected and yet representative number of scientists working at the forefront of research on light-matter interaction in inorganic, organic, and bio-materials. During the workshop under the direction of Prof. Caterina Cocchi (Dept. of Physics/ IRIS/ CRC 951) and Dr. Zsuzsanna Heiner (Dept. of Chemistry/ SALSA), a number of invited speakers with different backgrounds will provide their insight on this exciting research topic, exchanging ideas with all participants through hands-on and group activities. A key goal of this event is to establish and strengthen networks of female scientists of various career stages. Topics related to career strategies and personal development will be also part of the programme, under the coordination of a professional coach.
