About
The aim of the school is to provide advanced undergraduate and master level students with an overview of exciting recent developments in modern physics, not normally included in the regular curriculum. Accommodation will be provided free of charge for students who are travelling to attend.
Lectures are given by internationally recognised experts on a variety of topics, ranging from cosmology to quantum optics to electron microscopy. Through collaborative problem solving sessions, discussion groups, and social events, students will interact with lecturers and organisers.
PAPS 2019 will also include sessions on “Opportunities in Academia”, such as applying for Ph.D. programs, postdoctoral jobs, etc.

- Topics in Modern Cosmology — Prof. Anne-Christine Davis, University of Cambridge
- Atomic resolution electron microscopy: insight into the quantum properties of materials using relativistic electrons — Prof. Dr. Rafal E. Dunin-Borkowski, Research Center Jülich and RWTH Aachen University
- Semiconductor quantum optics — Prof. Dr. Beata Kardynał, Research Center Jülich and RWTH Aachen University
- String theory — Dr. Nabil Iqbal, Durham University
The school will also include some additional talks:
