Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Plasmonics and Nanophotonics 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 nanoscale light-matter interaction. Fundamentals and applications of plasmonic and dielectric nanostructure in areas such as energy, biomedicine and communications will be covered. The meeting also includes an interactive career panel aimed at providing participants with perspective from industry and academia.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Plasmonics and Nanophotonics" 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.
