APPLY NOW for the 7th FQM Winter School!
QMC is hosting its 7th annual Fundamentals of Quantum Materials Winter School, to be held at the University of Maryland, January 15-19, 2024. This school, (sponsored by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation, ICAM, and NSF), is aimed at providing fundamental training to our current and future generations of Quantum Materials scientists in synthesis and characterization techniques. It will bring together senior and junior scientists to address topics at the forefront of current research into quantum materials, while also providing pedagogical background and practical training for junior scientists. With an interdisciplinary and diverse crowd, including physicists, chemists, and materials scientists, participants will gain basic functional knowledge of how to plan and carry out synthesis relevant to the study of quantum materials and will have a unique opportunity to interact with some of the top researchers in the field while networking with fellow peers. This year's school is focused on High Pressure Synthesis and Measurements, and will include a combination of fundamental materials synthesis instruction as well as lectures on experimental techniques and practices from an impressive list of invited speakers. The school will be followed by a one-day Workshop focused on a current topic in quantum materials research, covering both experimental and theoretical work presented by a list of prominent scientists in the field. School students are expected to attend both events. Applications can be submitted via web at https://fqm.physics.umd.edu.
