Dear All,

The 2018 ICTP Prize Ceremony will take place TODAY 9 January at 16.30 
hrs in the Budinich Lecture Hall, during the 19th International Workshop 
on Computational Physics and Material Science: Total Energy and Force 
Methods (smr 3266).

ICTP has awarded its 2018 ICTP Prize to Luis E.F. Foà Torres of the 
University of Chile, Santiago, Chile, and to Hongjun Xiang of Fudan 
University, Shanghai, China. The Prize recognizes their independent 
contributions to the theoretical advancement of condensed matter physics 
of modern solid-state materials, including low dimensional and nanoscale 
systems. Each year, the ICTP Prize is given in honor of a scientist who 
has made outstanding contributions to the field in which the prize is 
given. The 2018 ICTP Prize is given in honour of Kun Huang (1919-2005), 
the renowned theoretical physicist who is a father of condensed matter 
and semiconductor physics in China. Huang had been a student of Nevill 
Mott at Bristol University and a postdoc of Nobel Laureate Max Born at 
Liverpool University before returning to China in 1951.

*During the Prize Ceremony, Luis E.F. Foà Torres will give a talk on 
Using light as a topological switch and*

*Hongjun Xiang will give a talk on Theoretical studies on new mechanisms 
of ferroelectricity and multiferroicity.*

The Ceremony will be livestreamed from the ICTP website.
