Photochemistry, I
Photochemistry is an interdisciplinary research area, which includes aspects of organic and inorganic chemistry, material sciences, biochemistry, spectroscopy, physics and chemical engineering. The involvement of light brings these diverse fields together. The morning session of this photochemistry symposium focusses on environmental topics, luminescence sensors, and biological systems.
