Exploring the Molecular Interactions and Dynamics in Complex Systems: Isolated Molecules to Atmospheric Aerosols

The Molecular Interactions and Dynamics (MID) Gordon Conference has broad interest in the physical chemistry and chemical physics communities as topics touch on the interactions and dynamics occurring in isolated molecules, clusters, solution, surfaces, interfaces, and biological systems. The conference strives to connect fundamental research with practical chemical and physical systems. A key tradition in these meetings is the strong mix of theory and experiment and the dialogue it stimulates. The 2018 MID conference proudly continues these traditions. The conference will host talks in the diverse areas of:

• Molecular Interactions
• Molecular Dynamics
• Weakly Bound Clusters
• Interfacial Chemistry
• Atmospheric Chemistry
• Physics and Chemistry within Aerosols
• Dynamics of Catalytic Reactions
• Excited-state Dynamics

These topics span a wide range of disciplines, grounded in physical chemistry and chemical physics, and reaching into atmospheric chemistry, biology, catalysis, materials, and energy-related science. The Conference will bring together investigators who are at the forefront of these fields, and it will provide opportunities for junior scientists and graduate students to present their work in poster format and exchange ideas with established leaders. We encourage all who attend to submit abstracts for poster presentations. Several poster presenters will be selected for short talks based on the abstracts provided. The collegial atmosphere of this Conference provides an avenue for scientists of all ages and disciplines to get to know each other, to brainstorm new ideas, and to establish fruitful collaborations.
