Speaker: Newton M. Barbosa Neto (Institute of Natural Sciences, Federal University of Pará, Brasil) Title: Photoinduced manipulation of conjugated polymers and molecules via sequential two-photon absorption Abstract: Solution processing of conjugated polymers into ordered self-assembled precursors has attracted great interest in the past years owing to the ability to manipulate their structural and physical properties.

Speaker – Dr. Christine McLean from SUNY Buffalo Title:  “HEP and Future Colliders” Abstract: Since the discovery of the SM Higgs boson in 2012, particle physicists have continued to investigate the source of electroweak symmetry breaking - whether it's caused solely by the Higgs mechanism or if there is new physics involved. This and other
