NANOP 2019: Functional NanophotonicsAfter tremendous endeavors, Nanophotonics has already departed from its infancy and stepped into an exciting era, where research ideas and theoretical concepts are being vigorously transferred into functional devices and real-life applications. The fourth edition of the NANOP conference identifies the successful development of Functional Nanophotonics over the last decades as well as outlines upcoming research directions and topics, offering a vibrant platform for scientists to discuss, share, and fantasize. Topics Photonic & plasmonic nanomaterialsOptics and transport on 2D materialsNonlinear nano-opticsQuantum dots and colour centresStrong light-matter interactions at the nanoscaleMetamaterials and metasurfacesEnhanced spectroscopyNano-OptomechanicsQuantum nano-opticsNanoscale photothermal effectsOptical sensing from solid state to bio-medicineAdvanced imaging for photonic materialsTopological photonicsBottom-up approach enabled nanophotonicsNon-reciprocal nano-optics Chairwoman: Prof. Laura Na Liu, University of Heidelberg, Germany Confirmed speakers: Prof. Albert Polman, AMOLF Institute, Netherlands Prof. Din Ping Tsai, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Prof. Anatoly Zayats, King’s College London, UK Prof. Andrea Alu, The University of Texas at Austin, USA Prof. Jörg Wrachtrup, University of Stuttgart, Germany Prof. Frank Koppens, ICFO, Spain Prof. Peter Nordlander, Rice University, USA Dr. Kerstin Göpfrich, Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Germany Prof. Stefan Maier, LMU, Germany Prof. Tim Liedl, LMU, Germany ACS Photonics Lectureship Winner Early bird submission – March 19, 2019Early bird registration – April 19, 2019Regular submission – June 19, 2019Regular registration – July 19, 2019Conference: September 4-6, 2019
