Faraday Discussion 177: Temporally and Spatially Resolved Molecular Science

We invite you to join us at Temporally and Spatially Resolved Molecular Science: Faraday Discussion 177, which will be held at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India from 12-14 January 2015.

This discussion will bring together crystallographers and spectroscopists from chemistry, physics and biology to promote new interdisciplinary research and to benefit from complementary approaches and techniques in the rapidly emerging areas of ‘time resolved studies’, leading to a greater overall understanding of structural dynamics. Discussion themes include:

• Dynamics of the Chemical Bond
• Time and Space Resolved Methods
• Local and Global Dynamics
• Future Challenges and Emerging Techniques

Submit your abstract today via our submission system.

The deadline for oral abstracts is 21st April 2014

Confirmed invited speakers:

Elagannan Arunan, Indian Institute of Science, India
Godfrey Beddard, University of Leeds, UK
Volker Deckert, Jena University, Germany
Jonathan Hirst, University of Nottingham, UK
Wolfgang Junge, University of Osnabruck, Germany
R. J. Dwayne Miller, Max Planck Unit for Structural Dynamics at the University of Hamburg, Germany
Shaul Mukamel, University of California, USA
Paul Raithby, University of Bath ,UK

In addition there will be a discussion meeting, entitled ‘Advances in Structure and Dynamics’ held directly after the Faraday Discussion in Bangalore on 15 – 16 January 2015. More information will be available on the website in due course.
