AMO physics and ITAMP lost a great friend in Anthony Starace last Thursday. We at ITAMP are saddened with the news. He served on the ITAMP advisory board and participated in its workshops and winter schools.
ITAMP postdocs Bihui Zhu and Rivka Bekenstein participated in “2019 Rising Stars in Physics Workshop” hosted by the Physics department at Stanford, which aimed to bring the next generation of physics academic leaders together for scientific discussions and informal sessions on navigating the early stages of the academic career. The two ITAMP post-docs were chosen to participate in the workshop out of more than 100 applicants.
We’re elated to announce that Nicole Yunger-Halpern has won the 2019 Ilya Prigogine Prize for Thermodynamics. She gave a talk on May 23 in Barcelona.
Great work, Nicole.
