Dinamo in Galapagos
Discussions on Nano & Mesoscopic Optics DINAMO
Nano and Mesoscopic Optics involves the interaction of light with structures that are too small or too complex to be described by traditional continuum methods, as well as the structuring and manipulation of optical fields and interactions at sub-wavelength scale. This is a highly active and interdisciplinary area of research, which involves experimental and theoretical experts from optics, acoustics, biophysics, cold atom and condensed matter physics, and telecommunications.
DINAMO aims to promote the transfer of knowledge between different branches of science and stimulate global solutions to complex problems of nano and mesoscopic optics. DINAMO is conceived to provide an interdisciplinary forum where leading investigators from around the world can present and discuss their latest work and future challenges in an informal and interactive format.
Beautiful natural locations and isolated venues promote the scientific and personal interaction during presentations, discussion, meals, outdoor excursions and social events. The first DINAMO conference was held in “El Chalten” in Patagonia, Argentina in 2015. In 2017, Siglufjörður, a remote location in Iceland, offered an exceptional environment for the second meeting in the series. The third DINAMO conference will take place in 2019 in the Galápagos Islands, one of the most pristine natural places on Earth.
