on Ultrafast Condensed Phase Dynamics

Wednesday 14th September, 13:30-17:30

Lecture Theatre 2 (LT2), School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, BS8 1TS, UK

Light driven chemical reactions, energy or charge transfer occur on rapid timescales in liquids, proteins and solids necessitating ultrafast spectroscopic techniques to probe their evolution. This half-day symposium will highlight some of the latest cutting-edge work in the field of ultrafast condensed phase dynamics from world-renowned scientists.

Registration for the event is free, but required via Eventbrite for room capacity and catering purposes.

For more information please contact Dr Tom Oliver (tom.oliver@bristol.ac.uk).
