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 CIC 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.

SCOPE
The interaction between light and small clusters of nanoscale metallic and/or dielectric components has been a recent subject of extensive experimental and theoretical research. Knowledge and understanding of the near- and far-field optical responses from individual and coupled nanoparticles have led to an unprecedented development in the fields of molecular optics, optical antenna design, surface enhanced spectroscopies, bio/chemical sensing, light guiding, solar cell system, information storage and other. Research of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale now presents an opportunity to build on the existing work or/and establish novel directions for this area of research.
We invite researchers to contribute with original research ideas that will stimulate the continuing reports to exploit the great potential that light-matter interaction have for real life applications but also to develop this field for future nanophotonic devices.
