Southern California Symposium on
 Surface Science
April 25, 2005
Natural Science I Building, Room 1114
University of California, Irvine (campus map)

Symposium Program Details   |   Online Registration (deadline:  March 31, 2005)
program schedule   |   program abstracts   |   local accommodations / restaurants   |   parking   |   directions   |   ISIS home


Purposes:  Surface Science is an extremely important research field. Progress in this area is particularly rapid at the present time, primarily being motivated by innovations in materials and phenomena suitable for industrial applications. Southern California is one of the most active areas in the world where many prominent research groups are working on various cutting-edge surface problems.  This symposium will bring together surface scientists, postdocs and students from neighboring institutes and companies to exchange ideas and to discuss our latest research findings.   Particulary, we will focus on frontier topics such as nanocatalysis, oxide surfaces, nanoscale characterization and manipulation, spins and plasmons, reaction dynamics, phonons & excitons, and femtosecond surface chemistry. In addition, there will be a poster session to provide the opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to present their latest research. This symposium will foster/enhance interactions between researchers who are focused on the fundamental studies of surface science and related topics in the Southern California area.

NOTE:  Titles and abstracts are not required for posters. UCI students and postdocs may go to the meeting room and set up the posters by 8:15 am. on the day of symposium.    Lunch and dinner will be provided for registered participants.
