Invitation: Professor T. Goodson III Seminar and International Research Careers Panel
Description
We are delighted to invite you to a special event featuring Professor Theodore (T.) Goodson III, Richard Barry Bernstein Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan and a leading international researcher in quantum information science, advanced optical materials and quantum technologies.
This event brings together two opportunities for our research community: a seminar exploring cutting-edge developments in quantum information science and a panel discussion on working and studying at leading international research institutions.
Attendees are welcome to join either session or both.
Program
10:00am - Seminar: A Chemical Perspective on Quantum Information Science
Professor T. Goodson III11:00am - Panel Discussion: Insights on Working and Studying at International Research Institutions
12:00pm - Morning Tea and Networking
A Chemical Perspective on Quantum Information Science
Quantum Information Science (QIS) combines quantum computing, sensing and communication technologies, and is rapidly reshaping how we approach complex scientific and technological challenges.
In this seminar, Professor Goodson will discuss the development of organic and inorganic materials for quantum optical and electronic applications, including their use in photovoltaics, light-emitting devices and quantum sensors. Drawing on pioneering research using ultra-fast spectroscopy and quantum optical techniques, he will explore how understanding processes at the molecular level is helping to advance the next generation of quantum technologies.
This seminar will be of interest to researchers and students working in chemistry, physics, engineering, materials science, information technology and related disciplines.
Insights on Working and Studying at International Research Institutions
Following the seminar, Professor Goodson will join an expert panel discussion exploring the opportunities, challenges and benefits of working and studying at leading international research institutions.
The panel will share perspectives on building international research careers, developing global collaborations, securing overseas opportunities, and translating international experiences into long-term research success.
Hosted by Associate Professor Rowan Gollan, the panel will feature:
Professor Theodore Goodson III (University of Michigan)
Professor Liesl Folks
Dr Nadja Kunz
Associate Professor Evan Moore
This session will be particularly valuable for HDR candidates, ECRs and researchers interested in international mobility, collaboration and career development.
Whether you are interested in emerging quantum technologies, considering an international research opportunity, or looking to expand your global research network, we encourage you to join us for this engaging event.
We look forward to seeing you there.
About the Speaker
| Professor Theodore Goodson III is the Richard Barry Bernstein Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan and an internationally recognised leader in quantum optics, physical chemistry and advanced materials research. His work focuses on the ultra-fast, nonlinear and quantum optical properties of organic and inorganic materials, with applications spanning quantum information science, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, sensing and biomedical technologies. Professor Goodson has published more than 200 scientific papers and a book, delivered over 300 invited lectures worldwide, and received numerous national and international awards for his contributions to science. His research group is at the forefront of applying entangled photons to spectroscopy and microscopy, advancing new approaches in neuroscience, nanoscience and medicine. A successful academic entrepreneur, Professor Goodson has founded two technology companies and has been recognised for his leadership, scholarship and mentorship of students and early-career researchers. He currently serves as Associate Editor of Science Advances and Co-Editor of the Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, and previously served as Executive Associate Editor of The Journal of Physical Chemistry. He also chaired the U.S. National Academy of Sciences Committee on Quantum Information Science in Chemistry. Professor Goodson completed his PhD at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and held postdoctoral appointments at the University of Chicago and the University of Oxford. |
