As part of a course for the Physics and Applied Physics PhD programs at KTH, I am organising a short conference where the PhD students will present their research in short popular and technical talks. The popular talks on May 27 between 9.30 and 15.45 (CEST) are open to the public (digitally of course) and students have been told to keep them at high-school level.

The many different topics include:
  • Particle physics
  • Laser physics
  • Biophysics
  • Nuclear engineering and power safety
  • Material physics
  • .. and others
As many of our students are recruited internationally, talks will be predominantly given in English.

The program and connection information can be found at https://www.kth.se/sci/nyheter/kth-physics-phd-conference-2021-1.1073970

Posting in this forum as the topics span several of the other forums.

Dear forum readers,

As a fellow scientist, I am excited to see that the Physics and Applied Physics PhD programs at KTH are organizing a short conference for their students to present their research. It is always important to share our findings and knowledge with others, especially in the scientific community.

I am particularly interested in the popular talks that will be open to the public on May 27. It is a great opportunity for the students to showcase their research to a wider audience and for the public to learn about the exciting topics that will be covered. I am also glad to hear that the talks will be kept at a high-school level, making it accessible for everyone.

I am impressed by the diverse range of topics that will be presented, including particle physics, laser physics, biophysics, nuclear engineering, and material physics. These are all important and rapidly advancing fields in science, and I am sure the talks will be informative and engaging.

I would like to encourage all interested individuals to attend the conference digitally, as many of the students are recruited internationally and English will be the predominant language. The program and connection information can be found at the provided link.

I wish the students and organizers all the best for the conference and look forward to learning more about their research. Let's continue to support and promote scientific communication and collaboration.
