IUPAP Prize
IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
The ICPEAC IUPAP Prize rewards a young researcher who has a leading personal role in the achievement of original and outstanding contributions to the field of AMO physics.
Nominations are sought for the ICPEAC IUPAP Prize which rewards a young researcher who has a leading personal role in the achievement of original and outstanding contributions to the field of AMO physics.
The prize will be awarded during the XXXIII International Conference on Photonic, Electronic and Atomic Collisions to be held in Ottawa, 25 July - 1 August 2023. The prize includes a medal, a EURO 1000 award and an invited presentation in plenary at ICPEAC 2023.
Information on the previous awards at ICPEAC Conferences
Generally being allotted annually alternately with the International Conference on Atomic Physics (ICAP), regarding the ICPEAC Conferences, the IUPAP prize has been awarded nine times:
- in 2021, at the ViCPEAC meeting two prizes were awarded. To Dr. Calos Hernández-García from Universidad de Salamanca, Spain (2021) for his work on "the theory and modeling of laser-driven high harmonic generation (HHG)". Also to Dr. Philipp Hauke from the University of Trento, Italy (2020) for his "contributions to the development of quantum technologies based on Atomic, Molecular and Optical systems".
- in 2019, at the Deauville meeting jointly to Dr. Andreas Mooser at RIKEN/MPIK and Dr. Christian Smorra at RIKEN/CERN for their work on "The most precise comparison of the proton-to-antiproton charge-to-mass ratios and the most precise comparison of the proton and antiproton magnetic moments, constituting two different world-record tests of the fundamental charge, parity, and time reversal symmetry in these systems".
- in 2017, at the Cairns meeting to Dr. Johannes Feist, from the Condensed Matter Physics Center (IFIMAC) Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain for his work on "Modifications of molecular structure under strong light-matter coupling".
- in 2015, at the Toledo meeting to Dr. Gretchen K. Campbell, from the Joint Quantum Institute at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, MD, USA for her work on "Toroidal Bose-Einstein condensates and their application to "atomtronic" circuits".
- in 2013, at the Lanzhou meeting to Dr. Till Jahnke, from the Experimental Atomic Physics group at the Institut für Kernphysik, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität, Frankfurt, Germany, for his work on "A measurement of the evolution of Interatomic Coulombic Decay in the time domain".
- in 2011, at the Belfast meeting to Dr. Ian B. Spielman, a young physicist from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA, for his work on "novel experiments involving optical manipulation of ultracold gases".
- in 2009, at the Kalamazoo meeting to Johan Mauritsson, an assistant professor in atomic physics at the Faculty of Engineering from Lund University, Sweden, for his work on "Attosecond Electron Interferometry".
- in 2007, at the Freiburg meeting to Robin Santra, an Assistant Physicist in the Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Group of the Chemistry division of Argonne National laboratory, United States, for his work on "Strong-field control of x-ray absorption".
