3.3- July 8/15                     Workshop on Bio-inspired photonic structures (W)

Directors:                         Pedro Miguel Echenique, Donostia-San Sebastián, the Basque Country.
                                          Amand Lucas, Namur, Belgium.
                                          Giorgio Benedek, Milano, Italy.
                                          Javier Aizpurua, Donostia-San Sebastián, the Basque Country.

Aims:

       This meeting, simultaneously a workshop and a summer school, will include tutorials and research seminars on the biological and physical aspects of photonic structures. It will be organized in the splendid venue of the San Sebastian historic Miramar Palace. Confirmed researchers and students from physics, chemistry, biology and engineering with a strong interest for interdisciplinary collaboration, are welcome to apply for participation. The meeting will cover many aspects of biophotonics: quantitative study of nanomorphology, optical properties, biological functions of colours, taxonomic search for species of interest, reverse engineered modelling and computer simulations, bio-mimetic devices, etc. The physical mechanisms involved in these structures are inspiring for device applications in material science and optical engineering.
