Welcome
Augmented reality glasses, adaptive ophthalmic lenses, 3D displays, self-driving cars, soft robots, planar optics as efficient and broadband as glass, space telescopes looking for exoplanets, solar sails for interstellar journeys… What do all these technologies have in common beyond the perception that they all seemed to always belong to the future?
Those are being brought to life in these very days by photoalignment materials and the technology that they enable for controlling light and imparting functionality on soft matter with unprecedented efficiency, precision, and cost.
The conference on Photoalignment and Photopatterning of Soft Matter (PhoSM) – the Photoalignment Conference – is the premier international event where the pioneers, leading researchers and engineers representing the wide variety of applications are coming together to discuss the state-of-the-art of all aspects of the technology – the materials and chemistry, devices and fabrication processes, applications, novel phenomena, and future opportunities.
The organizers and the Program Committee members of PhoSM-2023 are looking forward to welcoming you in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg, Florida. The Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront Hotel overlooking Tampa Bay and the famous Dali Museum will host the meeting providing rooms at very special rates... Some of the best beaches of the world (#1 in the US for 2019) are a short drive away or accessible by shuttle buses.
We are witnessing a major technology revolution and are privileged to contribute to it!
Thank you!
