Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Electron Donor-Acceptor Interactions is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to discuss the role of electron and energy transfer in topics ranging from biological systems to nanostructured materials for energy harvesting and storage applications. Topics to be addressed will fall into, but not limited to, the following subdivisions: 1) solar energy conversion and storage, 2) electron transfer in biological and biomimetic systems, 3) magnetic and spin effects on charge transfer, 4) electron and energy transfer in metal redox systems, 5) single molecule charge transfer, 6) electron and energy transfer in nanoscale systems.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Electron Donor-Acceptor Interactions" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
