Marina Samoylova awarded SPIE Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship
BELLINGHAM, Washington, USA – 11 June 2014 – Marina Samoylova has been awarded a 2014 Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship by SPIE http://spie.org, the international society for optics and photonics for her potential contributions to the field of optics, photonics or related field.
Samoylova is about to complete her PhD studies at the University of Milan (Italy), Physics Department, Quantum Optics Group. Her research interests are theoretical investigation of photonic band gaps in optical lattices and mode-locked Bloch oscillations in ring cavities filled with cold atoms. She has authored and co-authored multiple journal and conference papers and would like to pursue her career in the field of optics, photonics or related field. She plans to use her SPIE Travel Scholarship to attend Optics + Photonics in San Diego, USA in August 2014.
In 2014 SPIE awarded $353,000 in education and travel scholarships to 144 outstanding individuals, based on their potential contribution to optics and photonics, or a related discipline. Award-winning applicants were evaluated, selected and approved by the SPIE Scholarship Committee, Chaired by SPIE volunteer Kevin Leonard. To date, SPIE has distributed over $3.5 million dollars in individual scholarships. This ambitious effort reflects the Society’s commitment to education and to the next generation of optical scientists and engineers around the world.

News from King’s College London
Prof. Carla Molteni (who got her PhD in our School in 1994), now Reader at the King’s College London, announces the following opening for ten fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships in London, at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Non-Equilibrium Systems (CANES).
Interested candidates should apply by 28 April 2014.
——————————
10 fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships at King’s College London
Applications by 28 April 2014 for Sept 2014 entry (late consideration
possible)
Non-equilibrium processes underpin many challenging problems across the
natural sciences. The mission of CANES is to train a new generation of
researchers in cross-disciplinary approaches to non-equilibrium systems,
focussing on the three key strands of theoretical modelling, simulation
and data-driven analysis (see ow.ly/vqCPG). It draws on a broad range of
supervisor expertise in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Informatics,
Computational and Systems Biomedicine, Earth and Environmental Sciences,
including partners at Imperial College London, University College London
and Queen Mary London.
The training programme consists of a first year combining taught courses
and research projects, leading to the award of an MSc. In years two to
four, the programme will include open question sandpits, master classes,
journal clubs and an annual retreat. Students will also be able to
undertake internships at a broad range of industrial and international
academic partners.
Funding for CANES students covers course fees, a stipend for living
expenses (£15,863 per year), and conference travel and internship funds.
The programme can support UK applicants as well as a limited number of
students from the EU and overseas.
Applications are now invited from candidates with excellent
undergraduate or equivalent qualifications in any relevant discipline
including mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, materials
science, biophysics, geophysical sciences and computer science. A strong
background in quantitative science will be essential for students to
take full advantage of the CANES training programme.
Please see http://www.kcl.ac.uk/canes/ for further details of how to apply.
Interested candidates should apply by 28 April 2014. Applications
received after this date will be considered as long as places remain.
Informal enquiries can be addressed to the CANES Director, Prof. Peter
Sollich (peter.sollich@kcl.ac.uk).
