The ICTP is pleased to announce that the  2019 ICO/ICTP Gallieno Denardo Award Ceremony will take place tomorrow, Tuesday 19 February 2019 at 15:30 hrs in the Budinch Lecture 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.
