Highlights of International Physics (FIP) Talks @ APS 2021 March Meeting
American Physics Society (APS) March meeting is one of the largest physics meetings in the world. In 2021, the meeting will be held online due to COVID-19.
To help the community quickly catch up on the work to be presented in this meeting, Paper Digest Team processed all talk abstracts, and generated one highlight sentence (typically the main topic) for each. Readers are encouraged to read these machine generated highlights / summaries to quickly get the main idea of each talk. This article is on the talks related to International Physics (FIP).

| Title | Authors | Highlight | Session | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | COACh: Challenges for Women Scientists in the Developing World | Richmond, Geraldine | My presentation will report on what I have learned from them and how important it is for all of us to work together to make sure that their incredible talents and capabilities are not left behind. | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 2 | Solar photovoltaic microgrids for energy access and emissions mitigation | Nelson, Jenny | We have developed a model [1] which we have applied to some of these questions. | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 3 | Actions and schemes of support towards developing countries | Niemela, Joseph | This talk will highlight actions aimed at reinforcing and advancing scientific expertise in developing countries. | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 4 | A bright light and a promise delivered: SESAME Light Source in the Middle East | Alp, Esen | A bright light and a promise delivered: SESAME Light Source in the Middle East | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 5 | Beller Lecture (2021): How do intruders take over their hosts? | Yonath, Ada | Beller Lecture (2021): How do intruders take over their hosts? | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 6 | John Wheatley Award: ICTP-SAIFR (2021): A South American Center for Theoretical Physics | Berkovits, Nathan | Throughout the world, institutes for theoretical physics are created to organize topical workshops and perform high-level research. | Session 2: Science Diplomacy |
| 7 | Andrei Sakharov Prize (2020): Scientific Espionage, Open Exchange, and American Competitiveness | Xi, Xiaoxing | In this talk, I will urge the audience to rally around the JASON Report commissioned and endorsed by the NSF and speak up to defend Chinese colleagues against injustice, safeguard open fundamental research on university campuses, and protect American leadership in science and technology. | Session 2: Science Diplomacy |
| 8 | SecondMuse – Entrepreneurship and Building Economies of the Future | Khozein, Todd | In this presentation the speaker will discuss specific case studies focused on mobilizing and accelerating entrepreneurs throughout the world and identify opportunities that exist for influencing new models of economic growth. | Session 2: Science Diplomacy |
| 9 | John Wheatley Award: Advancement of physics and science in developing countries | Quevedo, Fernando | I will outline the case for the importance of promoting science in developing countries. | Session 2: Science Diplomacy |
| 10 | Engineering for Peace and Diplomacy | Amadei, Bernard | Engineering for Peace and Diplomacy | Session 2: Science Diplomacy |
| 11 | Obtaining an ERC Starting Grant | Susi, Toma | In this talk, I will describe my journey from designing a high-risk, high-reward frontier research project to writing a successful proposal and presenting it to my peers in a grant interview. | Session 3: Top Quality Early Career Science in Europe |
| 12 | Colloidal Perovskite Nanocrystals for Optoelectronics | Di Stasio, Francesco | Both surface and composition modifications can be employed to improve the performance of LEDs or Lasers and I will present here some of the latest findings of our research group. | Session 3: Top Quality Early Career Science in Europe |
| 13 | The Trouble with Quantum Mechanics… and a possible solution | Bassi, Angelo | In particular, I will present spontaneous wave function collapse models: they assume a new dynamics for physical systems in place of the Schrödinger equation, where the superposition principle progressively loses validity when moving from the micro- to the macro-world. | Session 3: Top Quality Early Career Science in Europe |
| 14 | Control and readout architecture for integrated quantum circuits | Casaburi, Alessandro | In this talk I will present preliminary results on our activity at University of Glasgow concerning the development of supercondcuting electronics for on-chip integration of control and readout scheme to scale up with no perfromance degradation qubits and single photon sensors in form of large arrays. | Session 3: Top Quality Early Career Science in Europe |
| 15 | Electrocatalysis from two-dimensional materials: an ERC project | Voiry, Damien | To do so, we have recently reported the fabrication of electrochemical microcells using microfabrication techniques2. | Session 3: Top Quality Early Career Science in Europe |
