Severo Ochoa Workshop on Ultrafast Physics

by Virginia Greco

Organised and chaired by Dr Klaas-Jan Tielrooij, the event’s purpose was not only to present some of the latest trends in ultrafast physics but also to discuss the usefulness of ultrafast measurements in other research fields.

A new event of the ‘Severo Ochoa Workshops’ series, organised by the ICN2 within the framework of the Spanish Excellence Severo Ochoa Programme, was held on 30 May 2022. Focused on the latest trends in ultrafast physics, the workshop aimed to reach out to other communities, including chemists and biologists, and show what ultra-fast measurements can be used for. Ultrafast dynamics in/of a variety of systems was covered, such as liquids, biological matter, oxides, 2D materials, organic semiconductors, etc.

In the workshop, which was organised and chaired by Dr Klaas-Jan Tielrooij, leader of the ICN2 Ultrafast Dynamics in Nanoscale Systems Group, participated professors from various important research centres in Europe, including the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany), the University of Basel (Switzerland), Freie Universität Berlin (Germany), the University of Geneva (Switzerland), Cambridge University (UK) and the Cavendish Laboratory (UK).
