Invitation

         Prof. Leonardo André Ambrosio has recently been invited to deliver a Keynote Lecture at the prestigious international conference on laser-light and interactions with particles, to be held next year in Warsaw, Polland, 23-28 August.

         The 13th international conference series on Laser-light and Interactions with Particles (LIP) - Optical Particle Characterization follow-up ! is organized by the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IF-PAS) on August 22-28th, 2020, Warsaw, Poland. The conference is focused on interactions between laser beams and particles, from theory to practice, encompassing in particular the following fundamental topics:

                 - particle characterization methods (interferometric, holographic, polarimetric, spectral, static, dynamic,...),

                 - near-field, far-field and time-resolved scattering,

                 - plasmonics and other resonances,

                 - complex shaped particles and aggregates,

                 - multiple scattering and random media (dense,turbulent,...)

                 - mechanical effects of light (particle manipulation, force measurement, optical tweezer,...)

                 - laser beams description (contributions acoustical and quantum beams are also welcomed),

and application domains:

                 - aerosol science and atmospheric environment (nucleation, transport, characterization...),

                 - two-and multiphase-flow characterization ( combustion, spray, bubbly flow...),

                 - plasma and soft matter physics (nanocristallite, Coulomb crystal, colloids, aggregation, ,...),

                 - biomedical optical engineering (cell manipulation and properties, microrheology, ...),

                 - remote sensing (lidar, communication,...).
