Conference Description

The Plasmonically Powered Processes GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

This GRC is dedicated to the use of plasmons to drive diverse physical and chemical processes, and to the improvement of the understanding of plasmon-controlled generation, manipulation, and conversion of photons, charges, and phonons that are involved in the plasmon-driven processes. New plasmonic applications will be identified. Challenging problems related to plasmonically powered processes will be discussed.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Plasmonically Powered Processes" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
