MINI-SYMPOSIA

Atmospherically Relevant Species

Organized by: Erin Adkins (NIST), Brian Drouin (California Institute of Technology), Paul Raston (University of Hawaii)

This mini-symposium seeks to bring together spectroscopists who are interested in advancing our understanding of atmospheric chemistry. We encourage contributions from those who are involved in any form of spectroscopy (laboratory-based, computational, remote sensing, in-situ sensing, ...) that is applied to atmospherically relevant species (molecules, clusters, radicals, ...). Invited Speakers: Isabelle Kleiner (Laboratoire LISA, CNRS, Université de Paris Cité et Université Paris-Est Créteil), Peter Bernath (Old Dominion University), Carl Percival (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), Scott Kable (UNSW Sydney)

Heavy Element Spectroscopy

Organized by: Lan Cheng (Johns Hopkins University), Mike Heaven (Emory University)

Molecules that include heavy elements exhibit unique physical and chemical properties that are often associated with the presence of partially filled f and d orbitals. Their complex electronic structures are being evaluated for applications such as spintronics and the emerging quantum sciences. Heavy element molecules are also being used for precision spectroscopy measurements that probe physics beyond the Standard Model. This symposium will focus on spectroscopic and theoretical studies of heavy element containing molecules. Invited Speakers: Michael Morse (University of Utah), Michael Duncan (University of Georgia), David Dixon (University of Alabama), Svetlana Kotochigova (Temple University)

Synergy Between Experiment and Theory

Organized by: Nathan Kidwell (The College of William and Mary), Cristina Puzzarini (University of Bologna)

This mini-symposium will focus on the synergy between experiment and theory in the field of spectroscopy and dynamics, emphasizing collaborative insights that are gained where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. In addition to highlighting existing joint efforts, this venue will provide opportunities for experimental and theoretical colleagues to form new partnerships. Invited Speakers: Malgorzata Biczysko (Shanghai University), Joseph S. Francisco (University of Pennsylvania), Etienne Garand (University of Wisconsin - Madison), Marie-Aline Martin-Drumel (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, ISMO),
