School - Special Tutorial Session

The Special Tutorial Session (School) in semiconductor physics will take place just before the Conference, during the weekend of 22^nd - 23^rd of June, 2013. The School will consist of four lectures, each three hours long, given by outstanding scientists and addressed to undergraduate, PhD students, and young researchers. The aim is to expose young people to new ideas and concepts from the frontier of semiconductor physics, and provide an opportunity to interact with renowned scientists, leaders of their field of study. Relaxed schedule, friendly atmosphere, and comfortable venue will provide time, space, and ambience to discuss the lectures and semiconductor physics in general.

Invited lecturers:

Ryszard Buczko - Institute of Physics PAS, Warsaw, Poland
Introduction to Topological Insulators and Topological Crystalline Insulators

Sophia Economou - Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, USA
Optical Control of Carrier Spins in Semiconductor Quantum Dots

Alexander Govorov - Department of Physics and Astronomy, Ohio University, USA
Plasmonics and nanophotonics

Bruno Meyer - Justus-Liebig-University, Giessen, Germany
Physics and Applications of Zinc Oxide

Student grants

A limited number of grants is planned to be offered to partially cover the costs of student participation in the courses. Priority will be given to the students whose conference abstracts are accepted. The necessary condition to obtain a student grant is participation in the School. The student can receive the financial grant only twice during her/his participation in "Jaszowiec" Schools.

Applications for the support should be submitted by the student's supervisor before April 8^th 2013 directly to the Chairman of the Special Tutorial Session:
