Hall.
The ICO/ICTP Gallieno Denardo Award is given annually to
researchers younger than 40 years of age from a developing
country who have made significant contributions to the field of
optics or photonics.
This year the 2019 ICO/ICTP Gallieno Denardo Award is shared by:
Muhammad Faryad, LUMS Department of
Physics Lahore, Pakistan “For his
contributions to the understanding of light interaction
with nanostructured materials, and applications in the
area of optical surface waves, solar cells, optical
metamaterials and the modelling of wave propagation
in the nanostructured mediums.”
and
Christian Tomas Schmiegelow Universidad de Buenos Aires Balboa, Argentina, “For his contributions to the field of quantum optics and light-matter interaction, and in particular the demonstration of transfer of optical orbital momentum to bound electrons and studies on interaction of twisted light with trapped ions.”
During the ceremony, the prize winners will deliver the
following lectures:
Muhammad Faryad: "Surface multiplasmonics: Fundamentals and applications to optical sensing"
Christian Tomas Schmiegelow: "Spectroscopy with twisted light. Or: How
ions learnt to stop worrying and love the twist"
The ceremony will be livestreamed at http://www.ictp.it/livestream
You are all most welcome to attend.
