  GENERAL INFORMATION

The 9th International Conference on Electromagnetic and Light Scattering by Non-Spherical Particles will be held at the St. Petersburg University, St. Petersburg, Russia, on June 5-9, 2006.

The conference is part of two series of conferences started in 1995 (Amsterdam) and 1996 (Bremen). This is internationally recognized conference that covers all aspects of single and multiple light scattering with special emphasis on scattering by non-spherical and heterogeneous particles. The aim of the series of conferences is to bring together experts in theory, computations, experiments and those working on specific applications (astronomical, geophysical, environmental, material science) to foster collaborations.

The conference will cover:

  • new theoretical developments and numerical experiments in light scattering by non-spherical particles and particles with complex internal structure;
  • laboratory experiments in light scattering by natural and artificial particles;
  • single and multiple light scattering by dust grains and aerosols in terrestrial and planetary atmospheres (including exoplanets) and various cosmic objects;
  • application of light scattering methods in biology and biomedicine;
  • light scattering methods to control material properties in chemical and material science experiments and in technological processes.
