About TRVS

Time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy (TRVS) is a biennial international conference that gathers experts in the field of time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy and provides them with a forum for exchanging ideas and knowledge about the latest advances in the field. The history of the TRVS traces back to 1982, when the first meeting was held in Lake Placid, USA. After the second meeting in 1985, TRVS was held every two years in a diverse range of locations around the world. The conference covers the following topics.

  • Dynamics of liquids, solids, interfaces, and nanostructured materials
  • Chemical, vibrational, and hydrogen bonding dynamics
  • Time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy in molecular biophysics and photobiology
  • Proton and electron transfer studies for energy conversion and storage
  • Advances in multi-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy: Infrared, Raman, and terahertz
  • New infrared and terahertz laser sources and spectrometers
  • Single molecule vibrational spectroscopy
  • Time-resolved vibrational imaging
  • Theoretical and computational spectroscopy
  • Novel spectroscopic phenomena and techniques
