The biological world has often evolved with a plethora of nano- and mesoscopic photonic structures that are frequently superior to synthetic analogs. Such brilliant photonic surfaces and volume structures fulfil a multitude of functions simultaneously. Therefore, strong scientific intersection of artificial metamaterials and biological structured matter drawing on expertise in materials science, chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering will lead to new fundamental understanding, design approaches, novel fabrication techniques, and practical bioinspired photonic applications.
This symposium will focus on emerging biological and bioinspired photonic materials, their interesting biological phenomena and new fundamental properties, complex formation and fabrication processes and emphasize advanced functionalities for versatile photonic applications by bringing together leading scientists from a diverse background and technical fields across academia and industry.
