The final conference program is ready for download! At this point, we don't expect any major changes anymore. If you feel we missed something, please contact us at chair@ipsmeeting.org. There is no need to print it out, you will receive the final paper version at the conference.

As in the last few years, expect exciting and entertaining plenary talks across a few fields, a number of invited talks from your colleagues on topics that made a splash, and technical talks as well as a poster session.

Plenary talks

We will have six distinguished plenary speakers this year, giving an overview over exciting new developments in their respective fields:

Michael S. Fuhrer, Monash University:
Topological Electronics
Justin Song, Nanyang Technological University:
Anomalous opto-electronics in topological semimetals
Stephen Pennycook, National University of Singapore:
Materials under the microscope: the atomic origin of functionality
Christos Panagopoulos, Nanyang Technological University:
Spin orbit coupling phenomena at surfaces and interfaces
Mark Breese, SSLS / National University of Singapore:
The Singapore Synchrotron Light Source
Bryan E. Penprase, Yale-NUS College:
Chasing Cosmic Explosions: ZTF and Time-domain astrophysics

Posters and more

We have reserved ample time for many poster presentations where you can interact directly with your fellow researchers. Like last years, researchers who submitted a poster can choose to present in 3 minutes their work to the while IPS audience in the Rapid Fire Poster Pitch session, and lure more fellow researchers to their poster. The poster session comes of course with pizza supply later on, during which we also will announce the this-year's best poster awards. Please design your poster in a A1 format portrait orientation, or it will not fit on the poster walls.

Technical sessions

The conference features 17 sessions with technical talks, both invited and contributed, which give opportunity to get first-hand information in various research topics. Contributed talks will be 12min + 3min Q&A, invited talks 20 + 5min.

Exhibition

Take this opportunity also to interact with suppliers for physical sciences products and services at the exhibition who continue to sponsor this event!

Singapore Physics Olympiad Event

As last year, we host again an event for young students engaging in physics through successful participation in the Physics Olympiad. In this track on Friday afternoon, the official award ceremony is followed by a panel discussion, giving a perspective for these outstanding students in secondary education in the community of researchers and educators in physical sciences.

Schedule

The session timings are fixed by now, we expect only minor changes.
