SUMMARY:Quantum Effects in Biological Systems: using physics to solve biol
 ogy and biology to solve physics. - Dr Alex Chin\, Winton Advanced Researc
 h Fellow in the Physics of Sustainability

DESCRIPTION:Dr Chin works in the Cavendish Laboratory where he studies opt
 imisation of light-harvesting in photosynthesis from a physicist's perspec
 tive. Understanding the intricate non-classical processes\nunderlying biol
 ogical phenomena can help optimise new nanotechnologies\, as well as provi
 de new insight into the novel physics of systems at the border of the quan
 tum and classical worlds. This talk covers some of the emerging ideas abou
 t quantum effects in biology\, including the way that strategies learnt fr
 om biological processes may be exploited to improve next-generation techno
 logies\, such as  organic photovoltaic devices.\n
