The goal of the workshop is to bring together a mixed audience
of
mathematicians, chemists and materials scientists to discuss
scientific
challenges in high efficiency harvesting, conversion and
storage of solar
energy. The workshop will aim to plant the seeds for
interdisciplinary
collaborations necessary to address the grand challenges in
solar energy
conversion and storage. It will aim to educate the mixed
audience of
attendees about the issues and provide a framework for detailed
discussions
on what needs to be done to surpass the grand challenges. The
workshop will
begin with four talks by speakers who are experts in
fundamental science of
solar energy conversion and culminate in the afternoon with
panel
discussions.
