2018 Noble Metal Nanoparticles Gordon Research Conference & Seminar
Abstract
The 2018 Gordon Research Conference on Noble Metal Nanoparticles will host the same invigorating level of cutting-edge science and technology that has made the previous four Noble Metal Nanoparticles conferences so successful Speakers and Discussion Leaders will be drawn from a complementary mix of experimentalists and theoreticians over a wide range of fields, including chemistry, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, and more. Oral presentations and poster sessions will invoke lively discussions that cut across several disciplines and include participants from diverse backgrounds. Research topics will feature the synthesis and assembly of metallic nanoparticles including hybrid and non-noble metal nanostructures that support collective excitations, the theoretical understanding of surface plasmons and their interactions with light, electrons, molecules, and other nanostructures, and applications that range from photocatalysis to nan mechanics and nanomedicine. At the conclusion of the Conference, selected poster presenters will be invited to give short talks to showcase their work. Outside of planned events, attendees will have many opportunities for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings to build networks and spur new research ideas. Young scientists are highly encouraged to participate in this Conference as well as the related Gordon Research Seminar on Noble Metal Nanoparticles. As always, a great emphasis will be placed on unpublished, novel, and exciting results. We look forward to this being a vibrant and stimulating atmosphere for furthering new and impactful research for noble metal nanoparticles and other nanostructures including hybrid materials and assembled superstructures, which all have in common that they support the excitation of surface plasmon resonances. This Gordon Research Conference will be complemented by a Gordon Research Seminar on Noble Metal Nanoparticles which 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. This meeting is an opportunity to explore the novel work being performed in the field of noble metal nanoparticles and share scientific findings in an open and collaborative environment. Research topics will include: noble nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, catalysis, chemical sensing, biomedicine, alternative energy methods, and many others. Throughout the Gordon Research Seminar, several noteworthy representatives from academia, industry, and scientific communication backgrounds will be in attendance to facilitate conversation and give insight to student participants. At the conclusion of the meeting, seminar attendees will be able to partake in a career panel to engage with the mentors and receive feedback career opportunities and challenges. We request funds to partially support this Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar from the Army Office of Research.
