“Tetrapyrroles in Materials Science“-Symposium

4. September 2016

On September 30th, 2016, the Department of Chemistry & Pharmacy together with the Graduate School Molecular Science (GSMS) and the Interdisciplinary Center for Molecular Materials (ICMM) will be hosting the symposium “Tetrapyrroles in Materials Science”.

The topic reflects the on-going interest and expertise in Erlangen on various aspects of porphyrins and their applications. The world-wide recognized chemists Atsuhiro Osuka (Kyoto University, Japan), Karl Kadish (University of Houton, USA), Roberto Paolesse (University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy), Francis D’Souza (University of North Texas, USA), Tomas Torres (Autonoma University Madrid, Spain) and Shunichi Fukuzumi (Osaka University, Japan) will demonstrate state-of-the-art research in tetrapyrrole science. Young researchers from groups in Erlangen will present their work in the field as well in the day-long symposium. The event is open and visitors from all disciplines are cordially invited to the Lecture Hall H3 in Südgelände/Hörsaalgebäude.

Start will be at 8:55 a.m., the symposium will end at 5:20 p.m. In between, coffee breaks and a lunch break offer opportunities to discuss science and connect to excellent scientist.
