[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: reminder PASI Electronic Structure Cartagena

Another option for summer school and conference during the summer. This one is in Cartagena, Colombia and the list of speakers looks great. Might be of interest to many members of the group.

This will have the format of a course/workshop given by leading experts in the field, and attended by a maximum of 65 participants from the US and Latin-America (one of the goals of this Institute, mostly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, is to strengthen the scientific connections between the US and Latin-America). You will find all information about the workshop in our Web page: * www.cursopasi.unal.edu.co* The following are the 3 major topics and 15 confirmed lecturers: I - Electronic transport: Latha Venkataraman (Columbia University, USA) Marcel Mayor (University of Basel, Switzerland) Gianluca Stefanucci (University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy) Jeff Neaton (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab., USA) Caio Lewenkopf (Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil) II - Spectroscopy of complex systems: Alex Fainstein (Instituto Balseiro, Argentina) Shaul Mukamel (University of California - Irvine, USA) Weitao Yang (Duke University, USA) Victor Batista (Yale University, USA) III - Laser chemistry and optimal control: E.K.U. Gross (Max Planck Institute - Halle, Germany) Herschel Rabitz (Princeton University, USA) Todd Martinez (Stanford University, USA) Leticia González (Friedrich-Schiller Universität Jena, Germany) Alberto Castro (BIFI-Zaragoza, Spain) Please alert prospective participants that they should present a poster on their ongoing work, and that the deadline to request support is March 15, 2011. We would also appreciate if you can circulate this information to any one interested.
