We are happy to announce this year’s Australian Institute of Physics WA Student Conference. Each year, the conference brings together young researchers from around WA and gives them the opportunity to formally present their projects in physics and physics-related disciplines.
Honours, Masters and PhD students are invited to attend and enjoy a day of networking and present their research in a friendly environment. Students can apply to give an oral presentation and/or present a poster. Details regarding the talk formats can be found on the registration page. Undergraduate students are also encouraged to register their interest to present or attend.
Abstract submission for oral presentations is now closed, however you are still welcome to present a poster:
Register your attendance or intention to present a poster via the online form here.
If you have submitted an abstract before the deadline, your attendance is already noted. If you need to edit your submission in any way, you will need to get in touch directly by sending an email to catriona.thomson@research.uwa.edu.au . Remember, abstracts are limited to one page although one paragraph is ideal. It is important to use the provided template for Word (download here) or LaTeX (download here). If you are writing an abstract for the first time, you might find some useful tips here. Please ensure that your abstract conforms to the format of the template, as we may ask you to resubmit if it does not.
Relevant topics include but are not limited to:- Theoretical physics
- Experimental physics
- Computational physics
- Astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology
- Medical physics
- Geophysics
- Biophysics
We also encourage students working in other physics related fields to participate, such as physical chemistry, engineering, spectroscopy etc.
Registration
Register here to attend the conference. Morning tea, a fully catered lunch, afternoon tea and a sundowner to precede the AIP AGM Dinner will be included.
