Brief Bio
Paulo Ribeiro obtained his PhD in Physics and Materials Engineering in 1999 from the University of São Paulo (São Carlos Institute of Physics, Brazil). He is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the NOVA School of Science and Technology, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (NOVA FCT). He is a founding member of the Functional Molecular Systems research group and an integrated researcher at LIBPhys (Laboratory for Instrumentation, Biomedical Engineering and Radiation Physics).
His research activity focuses on the development, processing, and characterization of functional molecular thin
films, with particular emphasis on photoresponsive materials, light–matter interaction, and laser-based surface structuring. His work is strongly aligned with photonics, including nonlinear optics, structured light, and the fabrication of optical elements for beam shaping and orbital angular momentum control. He has extensive experience in azobenzene-based systems and surface relief structuring for photonic applications.
He is Coordinator of the MSc in Physics Engineering at NOVA FCT and has been co-chair of the PHOTOPTICS – International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Laser Technology since 2013.

Brief Bio
Pablo Albella is Associate Professor of Optics in the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Cantabria where he leads different research lines within the area of nano-optics, thermoplasmonics, chiral sensing and optical forces are the main ones. He is also visiting Researcher in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London.
He obtained his PhD in late 2009, awarded with the prize of best thesis in physics that year. Following his PhD, he completed two postdoctoral stays: one at the Materials Physics Center (CFM) in San Sebastian where he also held a Guest Researcher Position at C
IC Nanogune, and a four-year one at Imperial College London. In 2017, he obtained an Excellence Researcher position from the Government of the Canary Islands to join a research institute and create a research group in Nanophotonics. Subsequently, in June 2018, he gained a Ramón y Cajal tenure track position.
Mention, that he is the founder and organizer of an International Nanophotonics workshop on Nanophotonics, Plasmonics and Metamaterials (NanoPlasMeta) that takes place in conjunction with this conference since 2019.
