Scientific Program
Link to I-CAMP 2010 in Sydney-Brisbane, Australia, June 20-July 10, 2010
The I-CAMP school will take the form of a summit, bringing together prominent scientists as well as students and postdoctoral fellows. The meeting will explore current state and emerging new frontiers at the interface of materials science, nanoscience, and optics/photonics, whereas the Outreach Forum held in conjunction with it will allow the researchers to share their experience and advances in conducting outreach and disseminating scientific knowledge. Summer school organization will adhere to the Fraunfelder rules; we will assure that there will be enough time for discussion, and the speakers will be specifically asked to emphasize the open/emerging questions and unsolved problems. The focus will be on recent advances at the interface between materials physics and optics that promise to open up conceptually novel directions of research. The I-CAMP will enable researchers working at the forefronts of materials science, nanoscience, and optics to discuss the emerging uses of light for control and study of materials as well as the advances in the use of materials to control light. Being at the nexus of materials science, soft condensed matter physics, chemistry, optics, and photonics, the workshop theme is inherently interdisciplinary.
