11 October: TEM opening AMOLF

Dear colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to join the symposium on “Light driven processes monitored inside the TEM” including a celebratory opening of the new TEM user facility with light incoupling at AMOLF in Amsterdam from 9:45-17:30 on October 11th, 2024. The symposium brings together the Dutch TEM and sustainable energy materials communities and highlights recent advances in monitoring chemical and material processes at the atomic level under optical excitation and with fast time resolution. We present a high-level program with four keynote speakers: 

·         Sophie Meuret (CEMES/CNRS, Toulouse, France)
Exploring the Dynamics of Semiconductors with an Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscope

·         Ulrich Lorenz (EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland)
Observing Nanoscale Dynamics with Time-Resolved Electron Microscopy

·         Armin Feist (Max Planck Institute, Göttingen, Germany)
Merging Electron Microscopy with Advanced Photonics

·         Jennifer Dionne (Stanford University, Stanford, United States)
The Light Stuff: Enabling Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing with Atomically-Optimized Photocatalysts

Registration for the workshop is free of charge. The lectures are all at the Turing room, Amsterdam Science Park Congress Centre Science Park 125, Amsterdam, while the lunch and TEM opening will be next door at AMOLF, Science Park 104.

We look forward to welcoming you on October 11th. 

On behalf of the organizing committee,

Wiebke Albrecht & Erik Garnett
