----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This virtual Workshop will bring together young researchers from all over the world and established scientists working on the interaction of light with biological matter. A variety of perspectives will provide interdisciplinary contents of both introductory and advanced nature.

Multidisciplinarity, theory and experiments, as well as different backgrounds are crucial to understanding the diversity of phenomena and the fundamental processes that govern the complex interaction of light with living matter.

This online format is an adaptation of the ICTP school and workshop originally planned in IISER, Trivandrum, India, to promote scientific development and exchanges in the whole area.

The programme will include:

• oral invited presentations by high-profile senior scientists, covering introductory aspects and most recent research developments;
• young researchers’ contributed talks;
• poster presentations through virtual poster sessions.

Topics:

• advanced spectroscopy and imaging to probe bio-interfaces;
• dynamical processes: electron and energy transfers, quantum biology;
• excited states, photophysics and photochemistry in biological matter.

Preliminary list of speakers:

Ellen Backus, University of Wien
Ross McKenzie, University of Queensland
Henrik Ottosson, Uppsala University
Igor Schapiro, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Massimo Trotta, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche at Bari
Julia Weinstein, University of Sheffield
