Amsterdam-Catania Joint Workshop on Nanophotonics

WEB Site

Recent results and new perspectives in nanophotonics, photovoltaics, and nanotechnology from the groups of AMOLF, led by Professor A. Polman in Amsterdam, and of the #DFA, led by Professor F. Priolo in Catania, will be presented and brought together in this one-day workshop, which will be concluded by a Science Colloquium on Light management and the dream of photovoltaic energy for 0.01 €/kWh by Albert Polman. The workshop will also feature a presentation by Professor Giulia Tagliabue (EPFL).
