Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium E
Nanostructured Photonic Materials: Optical Properties and Applications
Scope of the Symposium
The symposium´s scope is based on recent advances on Nanostructured Photonic Materials and emphasizes their synthesis, characterization, optical properties and applications. The search for new nanostructured materials with relevant properties to attend various necessities of society has been playing an important role and leading to the development of new technologies.
Topics of interest are: nanocomposites, nanocrystalline powders, metamaterials, photonic crystals, plasmonic nanomaterials and nanostructures, semiconductor nanocrystals, nanometric films, nanocolloids, metal and dielectric nanoparticles, organic nanostructures, hybrid nanostructures.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- Photonic crystals: lasers and novel applications
- Novel routes for preparation of nanocrystalline powders, organic nanostructures, dielectric and metallic nanoparticles
- Plasmonics and Nanophotonics
- Metamaterials and negative index materials
- Two-dimensional materials for photonics (Graphene, MoS2, etc)
- Synthesis and optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots, colloidal and vitreous nanocomposites
- Hybrid nanostructures: fabrication and applications in biophotonics, bioelectronics, and medicine
- Characterization, spectroscopy and non-linear optical properties of photonic and plasmonic materials
- Modeling, computational techniques and verification of theory
