TPB：Topological Photonics and Beyond, aims to serve as a dynamic platform for scientists and young researchers working in emerging areas of topological photonics and beyond. Topics will include, but are not limited to, nanophotonics, meta-optics, thermal photonics, non-Hermitian optics, and quantum photonics. Participants will have the opportunity to present new findings, exchange ideas, and inspire future breakthroughs. The program will feature lectures by leading experts and emerging researchers, along with poster sessions showcasing cutting-edge advancements in the field.

Nankai University, founded in 1919, is a leading public research institution in China and a Category A "Double First-Class" university designated by the Ministry of Education. It has a proud tradition of excellence, producing outstanding alumni such as Zhou Enlai - the first Premier of the People’s Republic of China, and the world-renowned mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern - whose name lives on in the celebrated topological invariant Chern number, a cornerstone concept directly relevant to this conference. We are proud to host this international gathering at Nankai, where history and innovation meet.
