# Conference: Addressing Challenges in Ultrafast Photochemistry and Photocatalysis: Opportunities for Theory and Experiment

> **NSF 01002526DB NSF RESEARCH & RELATED ACTIVIT** · OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, THE (OH) · $49,916

## Abstract

With support from the Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD) and Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods (CTMC) programs in the Division of Chemistry, Professors Lawrence Baker of Ohio State University, Xiaosong Li of University of Washington, Sharon Hammes-Schiffer of Princeton University, and Krupa Ramasesha of Sandia National Laboratory will organize a three-day workshop focused on ultrafast photochemistry and photocatalysis. The workshop will convene leading researchers across theory and experiment to address critical scientific challenges and explore opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration in ultrafast photochemistry and photocatalysis.  Recent advances in experimental techniques as well as new theoretical methods make this a fruitful area for collaborations with potential to advance fundamental understanding of key chemical transformations, resulting in more efficient and selective chemical processing, energy conversion, and storage.  This workshop will provide a timely forum for discussing cutting-edge developments in experimental and theoretical approaches to ultrafast photochemistry and photocatalysis, with the goal to foster new collaborations and promote scientific and educational innovation across disciplines.

Ultrafast pulses have become increasingly powerful tools for probing electronic and nuclear structural dynamics in chemical systems, from isolated molecules to nanoscale materials and interfaces to complex biological assemblies.  Recen
