IUPAP可持续地球物理研究委员会研讨会 | CPS2024秋季会议特别专场

Giorgio Parisi is an Italian theoretical physicist, whose research has focused on quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, and complex systems. His best-known contributions are the QCD evolution equations for parton densities, obtained with Guido Altarelli, known as the Altarelli-Parisi or DGLAP equations, the exact solution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation describing dynamic scaling of growing interfaces, and the study of whirling flocks of birds. He was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Klaus Hasselmann and Syukuro Manabe for groundbreaking contributions to the theory of complex systems, in particular "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales*.

Ines Camilloni is Professor at the Department of Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires and Senior Researcher of the Center for Atmosphere and Ocean Research (CIMA). She is Vice-Chair of IPCC's Working Group I that examines the physical science underpinning past, present, and future climate change. She is also a member of different committees and panels: World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology of UNESCO, the Ethical Framework for Climate Intervention Advisory Board of the American Geophysical Union, the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, and the Interim Scientific Steering Group of the WCRP Lighthouse Activity on Climate Intervention Research.

Prof. Jiangang Li is the Director of the Energy Research Institute, Hefei National Science Center, China. He is a Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Professor of the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Science. He has worked in the field of fusion research for over 40 years. His main efforts have focused on plasma wave interaction, plasma wall interaction, and reactor design. He joined the EAST project, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, in 1998 and has led its construction and experimental program since 2000. He has concentrated on the Chinese fusion engineering DEMO reactor design and R&D during the past few years. He is the project leader of the Comprehensive Research Facility for Fusion Technology.

Cyrus Walther is the Past-President of the International Association of Physics Students and Past-Chair of IUPAP Affiliated Commission 5, where he advocates for the young generation of physicists. He is Vice-Chair of IUPAP Working Group 16 "Physics and Industry", working on the IUPAP Corporate Associate Membership program, and honored with the Fellowship of the International Science Council, representing the global community of Physics students and advancing science for the global public good. Mr. Walther is a trained astroparticle physicist performing his Ph.D. at TU Dortmund University in Germany with his focus on high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. His research focus lies in Active Galactic Nuclei as well as in machine learning algorithms for high-energy astroparticle physics with past research involvement in the high-energy particle physics experiment ATLAS. Between 2021 and 2022, Mr. Walther has also studied at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic. Moreover, he serves on the Executive Committee of the Commission on Data of the International Science Council with focus on the areas of young scientist involvement, the impact of data science on sustainability, and the advancement of research assessment on data and AI. In the American Physical Society, Mr. Walther serves in the Forum on International Physics Outreach Committee and represents his university as one of five German Student Ambassadors in the APS Student Ambassador network.

Geraldine L. Cochran is an Associate Professor of Physics at The Ohio State University. Cochran is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and a Fellow of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). Cochran has extensive experience conducting equity-oriented physics education research that spans multiple levels of physics education including high school curricula, introductory collegiate level curricula, assessment in graduate education, and mentorship within the physics workforce. Cochran also investigates the experiences of marginalized people at various points in the academic pathway in physics, and interventions and programs aimed at making physics more equitable. Cochran is a member of the Inclusive Graduate Education Network research hub and a co-PI on the National Science Foundation-funded Inclusive Graduate Programs in Physics project.
