Scientific Program
The scientific program of ICPEAC 2023 will consist of five plenary lectures of 60 minutes length each (including discussion), more than 60 invited progress reports (30 minutes, including discussion), a smaller number of special reports selected from the contributed abstracts (15 minutes, including discussion), and several hundred posters. Plenary talks are of general interest to all participants. Progress reports and special reports will be arranged in two parallel sessions and are intended to provide an in-depth view of the current state of research across the different topics of the ICPEAC community. In addition, the winner of the IUPAP Early Career Scientist Prize (previously Young Scientist Prize) in Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics will be invited to present a 30-minute talk (including discussion).
Two public lectures by two high-profile Canadian scientists are part of the program. The first public lecture will be delivered by Canada’s most recent Nobel Laureate in Physics, Professor Donna Strickland from the University of Waterloo, on Wednesday, July 26. The second public lecture will be given by Professor Teresa Scassa from the Centre for Law, Technology and Society of the University of Ottawa on the trending topic of artificial intelligence. This lecture will be given on Thursday evening, July 27. Our public lectures are open to conference participants, accompanying persons, and the general public free of charge.
Continuing a relatively recent ICPEAC tradition that was started in 2013, a set of four tutorial lectures will take place on July 25 at the University of Ottawa (exact location to be determined). The lectures will provide pedagogical accounts of the most recent advances in the field of photonic, electronic and atomic collisions. While targeting students and young postdocs, all registered ICPEAC delegates are welcome to attend the tutorials free of extra charge.
