This competition is part of a major research symposium Amazing Light: Visions
for Discovery in honor of Charles H. Townes, 1964 Nobel prize winner, in his
90th birthday year—October 6-8, 2005. Amazing Light: Visions for Discovery
is focused on exploring and advancing the future of innovative research in
physics. The major themes for the three-day symposium were inspired by and
derived from Professor Townes’ ideas and questions. Special emphasis is focused
on possibilities for investigating new, deep discoveries about the nature
of reality, as well as for developing powerful new tools to assist in advancing
this great adventure of scientific and technological creativity. In particular,
the program will focus on the challenge of producing powerful new technologies
that—like the laser for which Charles Townes won the Nobel Prize*—may generate
opportunities to open up whole new domains of advancement in experimental
physics.
This is an opportunity for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and
young faculty under the age of 40 in physics and closely related fields to
present your work at a major, international gathering of many of the world’s
most distinguished scientist-innovators, all expenses paid, and to compete
for over $100,000 in prizes.
Applications must be received no later than midnight EST, July 20,
2005.
Please read the application details linked below. If you have any further
