This one-day mini-workshop, hosted by IAS Visiting Professors Marvin Cohen and Ron Shen, will bring together leading experts working on subjects related to condensed matter physics and non-linear optics. The workshop will begin with introductory commentaries by Professor Cohen and Professor Shen, followed by lectures of the invited speakers on subjects related to the fundamental properties and application potentials of advanced materials such as graphene and materials for renewable energy as well as new strategies of probing surfaces and imaging using non-linear optics techniques. The workshop will end with a panel discussion led by Profs. Shen and Cohen.

The workshop is free and open to all. For better planning of refreshment and other logistics, intended participants are strongly urged to register online in advance.
