Dear Colleagues,
This is the first announcement of the upcoming Gordon Research Conference
on Molecular Energy Transfer, to be held at the Four Points Sheraton
Harbortown, in Ventura California, January 18-22, 2009. In keeping with
the tradition of this meeting, which alternates between the MET Gordon
Conference in the US and the COMET meeting in Europe, we are organizing
sessions to cover all areas of molecular energy transfer:
* Chemical reactivity and reaction dynamics.
* Ionized and electronically excited species.
* Clusters, interfaces and the condensed phases.
* Photochemistry, spectroscopy, and imaging.
* Non-adiabatic, spin-forbidden, and vibronic ET.
Confirmed Speakers: Confirmed Session Chairs:
Millard Alexander Ara Apkarian
Joel Bowman Mark Johnson
Steve Bradforth Marsha Lester
Piero Casavecchia Carl Lineberger
Robert Continetti Anne McCoy
Bob Field David Perry
George Flynn Scott Reid
Benny Gerber Alec Wodtke
Wei Kong
Kevin Lehmann
Kopin Liu
David Nesbitt
Hanna Reisler
Andrei Sanov
George Schatz
Reinhard Schinke
David Sherill
Albert Stolow
Arthur Suits
Arthur Utz
Curt Wittig
David Yarkony
The conference will be preceeded by a graduate and post-doctoral research
seminar (GRS), a 2-day satellite meeting on January 17-18 for young
people only, to amplify their participation in this Gordon conference and
let them more or less have their own conference. The GRS, first initiated
at the 2005 meeting in Buellton, CA, has proven to be a great success.
Professors Daniel Neumark and Alexander Benderskii have agreed to be
Faculty Mentors for the GRS meeting which will be co-chaired by Anton
Zadorozhnyy and Sarandis Marinakis. The full program, location
information, history of the meeting, application instructions, and
other details are available on the conference website:

We are looking forward for the exciting meeting and hope to see you in
Ventura!
Sincerely,
