Professional Conferences Organized

The Bowman Research Group has long been a leader in organizing international scientific meetings that bring together researchers in photopolymerization, polymer networks, and related fields.

Photopolymerization Fundamentals

Organized in collaboration with the Radtech Organization, the Photopolymerization Fundamentals conference is a biannual international meeting dedicated to the science underlying photopolymerization reactions — from photoinitiator photophysics and reaction kinetics to emerging applications in additive manufacturing, biomedical materials, and optical technologies. The meeting brings together academic and industrial researchers from around the world.
