APS Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics

Cornell University and Ithaca College are very pleased to host the APS Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics on January 20-22, 2023. The application was due on October 3, 2022. Lodging and meals are provided.

The keynote presentation will be given by Dr. Nadya Mason, Rosalyn Sussman Yalow Professor in Physics at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Professor Mason’s research at Illinois focuses on how electrons behave in low-dimensional, correlated materials, where enhanced interactions are expected to give novel results. The research is relevant to a variety of technologies, including quantum communication, information storage, and qubit control in quantum computers.

CUWiP will bring together successful female physicists and over 2,000 undergraduate women in physics to highlight career opportunities for women in physics and the contributions of women in physics. The meeting will provide ample opportunities for interacting with fellow physicists. The conference will include the following activities:

1. Presentations by professional physicists on their cutting-edge research and personal career paths;
2. Panels featuring career opportunities outside academia;
3. Workshops or panels offering guidance on how to get involved in summer research, the graduate school application process, applying to transfer to a four-year college from a community college, and preparing for and applying for jobs in industry;
4. An opportunity for undergraduate attendees to present their research;
