Halle, Germany 15-17 September 2008

Scope
Gustav Mie’s original 1908 paper on the colour of Gold colloids is continuously cited. This demonstrates that light scattering by spherical particles is still a large topic of interest in different scientific disciplines. These include e.g. astrophysics, optical particle characterization and computational graphics.

With this conference we like to commemorate Gustav Mie and Mie’s Theory by bringing together scientists from different disciplines to discuss the latest developments in the practical application of light scattering. We especially like to invite young researchers to present their research in a talk or by a poster.
The conference will be organized following the 11th Conference on Electromagnetic and Light Scattering by Nonspherical Particles, 7-12 Sept. 2008, University of Hertfordshire.
 
Venue
Martin Luther Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Halle, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, where Gustav Mie was Professor of Physics from 1917 to 1924, before he joined University of Freiburg.
