Three teams (each consisting of two to three students) compete against each other. They take turns presenting and defending their solution to a given problem, criticizing the solution of the opposing team and reviewing the performance of the two preceding teams. The performance of all three teams is assessed by a jury. The teams have to try to convince both their opponents as well as the jury of the quality of their scientific work and results and of the understanding of physics. The Swiss Selection http://switzerland.iptnet.info A team of EPFL 3rd year Bachelor students in a tough competition won the Swiss Selection for the International Physicists’ Tournament, which was held on 9 December 2017 at EPFL. They represent Switzerland at the International Final, in Moscow from 2nd to 7th of April, 2018. The next national selection, open for all physics students in Switzerland, will be in December 2018 at EPFL.

BOARD
Need to be elected by the General Assembly
SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 25Vice President Dr. Bernhard Braunecker Leica research fellow (retired) and Scientific Editor of the SPG Mitteilungen. To the readers of the SPG Mitteilungen, Bernhard Braunecker is a well-known person and writer of many articles. In the many years of his editorial tasks, Bernhard has contributed in various and elegant ways to make the Mitteilungen the high-quality magazine as we know it. Bernhard Braunecker studied physics at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany) from 1960 to 1965. The main topics of his diploma work (1968), PhD thesis (1972), and further research work (until 1974) were experimental studies in Nuclear Physics. From 1974 to 1982 he was active in optical information processing at the University of Erlangen, at the IBM San Jose Research Laboratory (USA), and at the University of Essen (Germany). His research focus was optical and digital image processing, holographic data storage, and image coding. In 1982 he joined Wild Heerbrugg AG in Switzerland, later called Leica Geosys-tems AG. From 1992 to 2006 he was chief scientist of "Optics design & System modeling," responsible for the optics of the geodetic, photogrammetric, and defense surveying instruments. Special highlights of the R&D group were the work on the world first "Digital Level," the large air-borne film and digital cameras, a UV laser printer for screen exposure (screen size 1.5 m x 7 m), several thermal imaging and night-vision systems, and about 10 large technology projects for ESA, the European Space Agency. He developed new measurement devices, for example, to calibrate the large photogrammetry cameras, and introduced new multifunctional sensors like those based on monolithic optics. Bernhard holds about 40 patents on the field of Optical Engineering. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 26
Secretary PD Dr. Lukas Gallmann Attosecond physics at ETH Zurich Lukas Gallmann studied physics at ETH Zurich from 1993 to 1998. With his interest in lasers and ultrafast science sparked, he joined the Ultrafast Laser Physics group of Prof. Ursula Keller in the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich to pursue a doctorate on methods for the generation and characterization of some of the shortest pulses of light. Following his doctorate, Lukas Gallmann joined Contraves Space AG as an Optical Engineer R&D in 2002, where he worked on optical and laser systems for applications in space. In 2005, he returned onto the academic track with a postdoctoral stay at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California in Berkeley in the group of Prof. Stephen R. Leone. During his postdoctoral research, he entered the newly emerging field of attosecond science, which enabled direct time- domain spectroscopy of extremely fast electronic processes in gas and condensed phase. In autumn 2006, Lukas Gallmann returned to the Ultrafast Laser Physics group of Prof. Keller to pursue a habilitation, which he completed in 2012. In 2016, he was promoted to a permanent academic staff position at ETH Zurich. Lukas Gallmann’s research interests are fundamental light-matter interactions at the frontier of experimentally accessible time scales and the development of new sources and techniques in the context of strong-field and attosecond science. His research is increasingly moving towards attosecond time-resolved studies on solid-state systems, where he explores the response of the bulk electronic system to strong optical fields or studies the dynamics of photoemission at the solid- vacuum interface. He enjoys the breadth of his research field that spans from technologically driven developments to experiments that touch very fundamental physical concepts. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 27
Treasurer Dr. Dirk Hegemann Dirk Hegemann is leading the group Plasma & Coating in the Advanced Fibers Laboratory at Empa, St.Gallen. He is a physicist and has applied this background to interdisciplinary research in various fields, particularly materials science and plasma physics/chemistry, the analysis and modification of polymer surfaces, thin film deposition and etching, large scale processing, and biomaterials. He studied science at the Technical University Darmstadt, Germany, obtaining a Diploma in Physics and a Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) for research on hard and oxidation resistant plasma coatings (1999). After working with the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology in Stuttgart, Germany, Dirk Hegemann moved to Empa, St.Gallen, in 2003, where he pursued his studies on low temperature plasma processing with the focus on plasma coatings on flexible polymer materials and soft matter. His current research interests comprise fundamental and applied studies on low temperature plasmas including supervision of PhD students and teaching at universities as well as transferring plasma processes to industry. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 28
KOND Co-Chair together with Laura Heyderman Prof. Dr. Henrik M. Rønnow Associate Professor, Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism, EPFL, Switzerland Henrik Ronnow was born in Copenhagen in 1974. He was awarded his master's degree in physics in 1996. Having earned his doctorate in 2000, he left Denmark for training at the Laue-Langevin Institute in Grenoble. Between 2000 and 2002, he held a Marie Curie Fellowship hosted by the Atomic Energy Commission. In 2002 he was appointed as an invited researcher at the NEC Laboratories in Princeton, then at the University of Chicago's James Franck Institute. In 2003, he became a researcher at the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich) and at the Paul Scherrer Institute. In 2007 he was appointed Assistant Professor at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL). In 2012 he was promoted to Associate Professor. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 29
Applied Physics Co-Chair together with Lorie Porte Prof. Dr. Leonid Rivkin Board of Directors, Paul Scherrer Institute, Head of Department Large Research Facilities, PSI Professor of accelerator physics, EPFL Lenny Rivkin was born in Odessa in 1954. He Studied physics in Novosibirsk and Cambridge USA, graduated from Harvard University with AB in Physics in 1978. He received his PhD in Physics from Caltech in 1985. He worked on several accelerator projects at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, which was followed by a year at LEP, CERN, Geneva. Lenny joined the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) near Zürich in 1989 and worked on the design, construction and commissioning of the Swiss Light Source. In 2006, he became Deputy Director at PSI, Head of the Department of Large Research Facilities at PSI and professor of particle accelerator physics at EPFL. At the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) the laboratory he is engaged in the development of novel bright synchrotron light sources, including the future X-Ray Free Electron Laser project SwissFEL. High intensity proton beams are used to produce powerful sources for neutron scattering and bright muon beams. Developments of accelerator applications for life sciences include hadron therapy of tumors and coherent sources of X-rays for phase-contrast imaging. Projects at CERN include work on future upgrades of LHC and associated accelerators, as well as research and development towards the future high energy frontier electron-positron linear collider. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 30
Applied Physics Co-Chair together with Lenny Rivkin Dr. Laurie Porte Plasma and Fusion research at CRP, EPFL Laurie Porte got his PhD in 1992 from PhD the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom, on Electron Cyclotron Emission Diagnostics. He continued at the JET Joint Undertaking, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom continuing in his field on plasma and fusion research, before going 1997 as a PostDoc to University of Los Angeles, and 1999 to the MIT in Boston (while working at the FZ Jülich in Germany). In 2001, Laurie Porte joined the CRPP-EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, where he took over responsibilities for the operation of the gyrotron heating systems of the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV). SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 31
Theoretical Physics Prof. Dr. Philippe Jetzer University of Zurich, Gravitational Waves - eLISA,Testing General Relativity, Gravitational Lensing Philippe Jetzer obtained his PhD from ETHZ in 1985 and became a PostDoc in the theory department of University Geneva. Further stages involved the theoretical astrophysics studies at Fermilab, and a fellowship at CERN’s theory division. Following stages with the University of Zurich, LBL Berkeley, and PSI, ETHZ, his research brought him finally to University of Zurich in 2001. Philippe Jetzer is a member of the scientific team responsible for LISA Pathfinder, and along with Domenico Giardini, Professor of Seismology and Geodynamics at ETH Zurich, is a prominent representative of Switzerland in the international project running under the leadership of ESA, the European Space Agency. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 32
Education and Promotion of Physics Co-Chair together with Céline Lichtensteiger Prof. Dr. Andreas Müller University of Geneva, on a joint appointment of the teacher education institute (Institut de Formation des Enseignants, IUFE) and the Faculty of Science/Physics Section Andreas. Müller has a physics background with studies at the universities of Heidelberg, Grenoble and Göttingen and several years of doctoral and postdoctoral research (among other places, Max-Planck-Institutes for Nuclear Physics/Heidelberg and for Biophysical Chemistry/Göttingen). A long lasting engagement for physics education parallel to his science research resulted in a shift into and Habilitation in this field (1997). The following steps were work as research scientist at the Institute of Science Education (IPN, Kiel) and nomination for a chair of physics education (Landau/Ger). Ever since, he has continuous experience for more than 15 years in science teacher education and science education research. His current interests in research and development are, among others, the following: − science of everyday phenomena, cross-disciplinary connections of physics with the other sciences, hands-on-experiments − empirical investigations and research based development in science education, in particular about context orientation and about the role of tasks and exercises in for effective learning. In science teacher education, his main goal is to establish a good synthesis of the practical know-how of experienced teachers on the one hand, and the large body of research-based knowledge about teaching and learning available nowadays on the other hand. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 33
History and Philosophy of Physics also broadening the scope of the Section Prof. Dr. Claus Beisbart Universität Bern,Wissenschaftsphilosophie (Epistemologie von Modellierung und Simulation, Deutungen und Anwendungen des Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffs), Philosophie der Physik (Philosophie der Raumzeit und der Kosmologie), Praktische Philosophie (Grundlagen der Ethik, kollektive Entscheidungen) Claus Beisbart works in fields in which physics and philosophy touch or intersect. He has obtained Ph.D. degrees in both fields from the Ludwig Maximilan University Munich. His postdoctoral research led him to Oxford, Konstanz, Dortmund and Pittsburgh. Since 2012, he is Professor for Philosophy of Science at the University of Bern. There, he is a member not just of the Institute of Philosophy, but also of the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research and the Center for Space and Habitability. His current research interests focus on probabilities in physics, relativity theory and the epistemology of simulation and modeling. He is looking forward to foster interdisciplinary exchange between physicists, and philosophers and historians of physics in the SPS. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 34
Physics of the Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment Vacant Experts in the field at ETHZ, EPFL, University of Bern,… have been contacted, but are reluctant to commit themselves. The main reason is that these people are engaging already in many associations, expert bodies, discussion groups, other more interdisciplinary learned societies, e.g. ProClim, etc. It’s, as you can imagine, a hot field facing many ideologically driven discourses. As physics is at the fundamental base of all science, it has a special role in bringing the solid reasoning of thermal radiation, heat and energy balance into the discussions. I.e. the physics of the Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment. Stéphane Goyette agrees to continue until a solution will be found. SPS General Assembly 2018 EPFL Lausanne HP Beck, SPS President 35
History of Physics —> History and Philosophy of Physics
A clear need to broaden the scope of the History of Physics section has been recognized.
There is no history of physics without philosophy of physics.
To embrace the real scope of this section of SPS, the section name shall also reflect this fact.
No new section, therefore, for information only.
