ESiM Conference “Molecular Photoswitches for Energy Storage and Beyond” (Barcelona, 23-26 April 2024)

ESiM project invites you to the upcoming conference on “Molecular Photoswitches for Energy Storage and Beyond” to be held here in Barcelona on 23-26 April 2024.

The conference will cover all aspects of photoswitches for energy storage, from molecular design, spectroscopy, computational methods, supramolecular systems to functional devices. The conference will bring together scientists from all over the world, and a we have a plan to have at least 40% younger scientists presenting alongside more established ones. We will also invite industrial partners who have shown interest in this emerging field.

We already have 15 confirmed invited speakers, from Europe, US and Asia, and out them 6 women and 6 in the “younger scientists” category:

  • Prof. Matthiew Fuchter (Imperial College London, UK)
  • Prof. Kjell Jorner (ETH Zürich, CH)
  • Dr. Grace Han (Brandeis University, US)
  • Prof. Zhiyu Hu (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, CN)
  • Prof. Kurt Mikkelsen (University of Kopenhagen, DK)
  • Dr. Ambra Dreos (Gothenburg University, SE)
  • Dr. Zhihang Wang (University of Cambridge, UK)
  • Dr. Francesca Moresco (TU Dresden, DE)
  • Prof. Arri Priimägi (Tampere University, FIN)
  • Dr. Aisha Bismillah (University of York, UK)
  • Dr. Diego Sampedro (University of La Rioja, ES)
  • Dr. Franziska Lissel (IPF Dresden, DE)
  • Dr. Stefano Crespi (University of Uppsala, SE)
  • Dr. Chiaoxia Wang (Jiangnan University, CN)

Registration will open soon.

First ESiM Workshop: Crossroad of Maxwell Demon (Toulouse, 1-2 March 2023)

ESiM is organizing the 2-days international workshop "Crossroad of Maxwell Demon" at CEMES in Toulouse (France) on March 1-2, 2023.

The workshop will focus on how the micro-reversibility principle applies to the mechanics of a single molecule and how can be possible ultimately to tackle the Maxwell demon using a well-designed single molecule.

Intramolecular or quantum thermodynamics and single molecule motive power will be discussed, also considering which nano/micro-systems and electronic devices can reach the single object at the nanoscale (atom, molecule…), including cold trap experiments and theory with or without a supporting surface.
