MINI-SYMPOSIA

Astrochemistry and Astrobiology in the age of ALMA

Organized by Laurent Margulès (Universitée Lille) and Anthony Remijan (NRAO)

Featuring discussions on the advances ALMA has made and will be making in these fields. ALMA technology has already revolutionized the fields and the next series of ALMA development programs will make the array the most powerful spectroscopic instrument on the planet for astrochemical and astrobiological discoveries. Invited Speakers: Jes Jorgensen (Niels Bohr Institut), Brett A. McGuire (NRAO), Nami Sakai (RIKEN), Charlotte Vastel (Institut pour la Recherche en Astrophysique et Planélogie)

High-Harmonic Generation and XUV Spectroscopy

Organized by Robert Baker (Ohio State), Scott Sayres (Arizona State)
and Josh Vura-Weis (UIUC)

Featuring advances in high-harmonic generation and the spectroscopy it enables. The ionization-recollision process itself is a sensitive probe of small-molecule electronic structure. Furthermore, the XUV pulse can be used as an element-specific probe of electron dynamics at femto- to attosecond timescales. Invited Speakers: Lou DiMauro (Ohio State), Wen Li (Wayne State), Arvinder Sandhu (University of Arizona)

Non-covalent Interactions

Organized by Helen Leung (Amherst College), Mark Marshall (Amherst College)
and Yunjie Xu (University of Alberta)

Non-covalent interactions have profound influence on chemical and biological systems. Interactions in chiral contact pairs have provided the basis for a new method of chiral analysis. We focus on spectroscopic and theoretical characterization of non-covalent molecular interactions and how they can be utilized to explore new frontiers. Invited Speakers: Maria Sanz (King's College London), Joseph Francisco (University of Pennsylvania), Kenneth Leopold (University of Minnesota)
