Students' seminar

The MPGC students`seminar is mandatory for MPGC students.

During the seminar students present in a common way the latest results of their interdisciplinary research and talk to each other. These presentations offer excellent opportunities for feedback on scientific results and presentation techniques and for informal discussions and networking.
Winter 2024/2025
Regular MPGC students' seminars in the winter term 2024/2025 will take place Wednesday at 4pm as hybrid seminar

Discovering two-photon chemistry: Fundamentals and application of two-photon processes

Date: Nov 19, 2025
Speaker: Julian Moghtader

Since Giacomo Ciamician’s pioneering work, photoinduced chemistry has attracted growing attention for its ability to enable diverse (photo)chemical reactions under mild conditions. A key advancement beyond conventional one-photon chemistry is the use of two photons in a single reaction, which allows for even gentler conditions and expands the scope of photochemical processes. This talk will introduce the fundamental concepts behind molecular two-photon chemistry and discuss both mechanistic insights and practical application at the laboratory scale. [more]
