UCD School of Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering

 SmartSurfaces2012: From Light to Life is a unique conference, bringing together leading scientists and engineers from around the world to discuss the latest advances in surfaces for application in solar and biosensor technologies. Surfaces underpin these key technologies and the highly productive multidisciplinary approach to surface research is the impetus for this focal conference. The ability to manipulate surfaces offers the possibility of tailoring devices for current engineering and scientific needs and of producing new materials to meet challenges in the energy and biomedical fields.

Plenary lectures from eminent international scientists will be among the highlights of the scientific program. The cross-cutting expertise of these experts will perfectly complement parallel sessions in surfaces for sensors and solar cells.
