About TRVS
About TRVS
TRVS is a biennial international conference that gathers experts in the field of time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy and provides them with discussion space for exchanging ideas and the knowledge about the latest advancement of the field in an intensive atomosphere. The history of TRVS traces back to 1982 when the first meeting was held in Lake Placid, USA. After the second meeting in 1985, TRVS has been regularly held every two years in the USA, Europe, and Japan. The conference covers the following topics:
- Dynamics of liquids, solids, interfaces, and nanostructured materials
- Chemical, vibrational, and hydrogen bonding dynamics
- Time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy in molecular biophysics and photobiology
- Proton and electron transfer studies for energy conversion and storage
- Advances in multi-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy: Infrared, Raman, and THz
- New infrared and terahertz laser sources and spectrometers
- Single molecule vibrational spectroscopy
- Theoretical and computational spectroscopy
The scientific session of TRVS consists of plenary talks, invited talks, contributed talks, and poster presentations.
