At this year’s Mazurian Lakes Conference on Physics, the excitement went far beyond the lecture hall and onto the water. In the traditional sailing regatta, held since 1968, Professor Michał Warda from our Department, as captain, led his crew to victory!
These regattas have seen many remarkable winners throughout their history- Professor Warda has proudly joined their ranks for the third time. Congratulations!
Professors Bożena Nerlo-Pomorska and Krzysztof Pomorski have published a new academic textbook entitled Theory of Atomic Nuclei: Foundations with the prestigious American publisher CRC Press. The book provides a concise yet comprehensive introduction to nuclear theory, presenting fundamental nuclear models and tracing their historical development. It is based on the authors’ long-standing lecture courses delivered in Poland, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, and China, as well as on their extensive scientific contributions. This publication marks an important achievement for the nuclear physics community and highlights the international recognition of research conducted by scholars from Lublin. The book will be available for purchase shortly.
Congratulations!
Nicholas Sedlmayr received a grant OPUS from the National Science Center for his research on Relaxation and Dynamics in Non-Equilibrium Topological Quantum Matter. The grant is scheduled for four years.
The symposium „Correlations, topology and superconductivity” will be devoted to the strongly correlated many-body systems, ranging from bulk materials to nanoscopic structures, with special emphasis on novel emergent phenomena. This one-day event will be held on November 14th. Its purpose is to bring renowned experts of solid-state physics from across Poland to overview the recent discoveries concerning exotic superconductivity and topologically nontrivial states of matter and to discuss novel methodological tools for studying quantum entanglement and transport properties of the strongly correlated systems and their hybrid structures. This symposium is dedicated to Professor Karol Izydor Wysokiński on the occasion of his 50-year employment at the Institute of Physics at M. Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin.
The 10th Conference of the Polish Relativistic Society (POTOR) took place in Kazimierz Dolny from September 16 to 20, 2024. This year, the organizers were physicists from the Department of Theoretical Physics at UMCS, in collaboration with the Lublin branch of the Polish Physical Society. Guests from Poland and abroad discussed current issues in gravity theory, its quantum generalizations, gravitational waves, dark matter, and cosmology.
During the conference, new POTOR authorities were elected, with Prof. Patryk Mach from UJ becoming president and Prof. Marek Rogatko from UMCS appointed as vice-president.
Congratulations!
The 30th Nuclear Physics Workshop, organized by the Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Maria Curie-Skłodowska, in collaboration with the Nuclear Physics Section of the Polish Physical Society and the Lublin Branch of the Polish Physical Society, took place from 23rd to 28th September in Kazimierz Dolny. The event brought together renowned international experts to discuss nuclear physics advancements. A special session was dedicated to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Polish-French scientific collaboration in nuclear research, with distinguished speakers from both countries highlighting key achievements and future perspectives. The workshop was a great success, fostering insightful exchanges of ideas and opening up new avenues for scientific collaboration.
We extend our sincere thanks to all participants and collaborators and look forward to the next edition of this prestigious event.
