COVID-19 and Photonics

December 10-11*, 2020 | Virtual Symposium
APL Photonics

Abstract: Photonics plays an important role in coronavirus detection as well as critical diagnosis and therapy of COVID-19 and its complications via optical sensing, spectroscopy, and imaging. For example, infrared thermography can produce a thermal map of the human skin in real time and find potentially infected persons at airports and on the street, while nanophotonic biosensors based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering can sensitively identify viruses in airborne aerosols. Moreover, photonics is an essential part of PCR testing (for diagnosis of the coronavirus) and flow cytometry (for evaluating treatment effectiveness) via fluorescence detection. This virtual symposium provides a valuable forum for researchers to share their novel findings and discuss challenges and potential solutions. Speakers and participants are encouranged to submit to the APL Photonics special topic on Coronavirus and Photonics to continue the conversation.

The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract: Future of Chemical Physics is an AIP Publishing Horizons conference sponsored by The Journal of Chemical Physics. The conference is designed to facilitate conversation between innovative researchers at the forefront of chemical physics.

The speakers are accomplished and promising researchers in many areas of modern chemical physics. The program is designed to give an overview of the most exciting areas of research that will help define the future of the field. The organizers aim to promote growth at the interfaces of more traditional research areas, so the conference will be diverse and small to encourage opportunities for students and senior scientists to discuss their research, both at meals and poster sessions.

In addition to the invited speakers, the conference aims to attract the best and brightest young researchers in the field to take part and learn about the most recent developments in the field.

Participants will have the opportunity to present their work in poster sessions, for which several poster prizes will be awarded.

The meeting will include sessions that focus on all major sections of The Journal of Chemical Physics, including: Theoretical Methods & Algorithms | Advanced Experimental Techniques | Atoms, Molecules and Clusters | Liquids, Gases and Crystals | Surfaces, Interfaces and Materials | Polymers and Soft Matter | Biological Molecules and Networks
