The first advanced physics course held by the international group of researchers participating in the APhRICA project is about to start in December 2024.
The QM1 (Quantum Mechanics 1) course will be held by Dr. Andrea Marini and hosted by ICTP-EAIFR, in the Nyarugenge Campus of University of Rwanda.
The students admitted to the 2 week course belong to the ICTP-EAIFR 2024-25 Physics master course of University of Rwanda and others will come from the Technical University of Kenya in Nairobi.
The visit of the 10 Kenyan students is sponsored by the partnership between the Italian CNR-ISM and the ICTP-EAIFR.
The two-year master course of seven selected ICTP-EAIFR students are entirely sponsored by ICTP (Trieste, Italy), CNR-ISM (Rome, Italy), EPFL (Lausanne, Swisse), CECAM (Lausanne, Swisse).
The further program includes advanced courses as QM2 (Quantum Mechanics 2) and MBPT (Many Body Perturbation Theory) 1, 2 and advanced training.
Together with Dr. Andrea Marini, the teachers are: Dr. Mike Atambo (Technical University of Kenya), Dr. Matteo Gatti (CNRS, Paris), Dr. Eleonora Luppi (NANO-CNR, Modena), Prof. Olindo Corradini (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia).
