ITS Sponsored Workshop
The 2007 Fluorescence Intermittency in molecules, quantum dots and quantum wires Workshop will be held in Notre Dame on April 1 - April 3, 2007.

The aim of the conference is to bring together world experts in the area of flourescence intermittency, and to make progress in our understanding of the phenomena and theoretical models of blinking in a wide range of molecular and nanoscale systems.

More information is available at the conference website.

Mission of the Institute
The Institute for Theoretical Sciences (ITS) promotes theoretical research at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and University of Notre Dame (ND) by attracting internationally recognized leaders, junior researchers as well as graduate students in selected areas of basic and applied theoretical sciences, and by providing them with the opportunity to pursue research in the international, intellectually stimulating environment of the University of Notre Dame and Argonne National Laboratory. To achieve its aims, the Institute cooperates with all Departments at ND and Divisions at ANL which pursue research in theoretical sciences. Furthermore, the Institute coordinates its activities with other domestic and international academic institutions, and promotes and encourages the participation of underrepresented groups, such as women and minority scientists at the highest levels of academia and research.
