Harnessing Light with Structured Materials
To celebrate the 70th birthday of an eminent scientist and a dear friend, Federico Capasso, and his enthusiastic scientific vision into the future, the symposium “Harnessing Light with Structured Materials” aims to bring together outstanding, worldwide renowned speakers dealing with a broad range of subjects, including flat optics and metamaterials, photonics, high energy lasers, ultra-cold matter, nano-optics, opto-genetics and biological science.
The symposium venue, the inspiring Arcetri hill in Florence, will be the ideal setting of the event: a long list of brilliant scientists, beginning with Galileo Galilei and including Enrico Fermi, have indeed extensively worked there, and several scientific institutions still project this tradition into the future.
