Organized in honor of the 60th birthday of Institute for Computational Catalysis Director and Flatiron Distinguished Scientist Angel Rubio, this workshop brings together an international group of distinguished theorists and experimentalists to explore open scientific questions in topics ranging from nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum materials to linear, non-linear and ultra-strong light-matter interactions in electronic materials.
