Each year the Board of Directors will select a topic or topics for the school from proposals made by the community. If you have suggestions for topics and/or people to organize the schools, please send us an email at: boulder.school@yale.edu. The proposals do not need to be highly formal, just a brief list of topics, the physics motivations, and possible organizers and suggestions for a few key lecturers to contact. We list below some of the example topics included in our proposal to the NSF. This set of possible school topics is far from exhaustive. Other possible topics that could be considered for schools include: quantum optics of materials, mechanical and structural properties of materials, polymers, complex fluids and polyelectrolytes, biomaterials and biologically inspired physics, and quantum computation. Condensed matter physics invents new devices on a regular basis. This summer school would describe how these devices work. This is useful background for students who wish to u

Home The Boulder School in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics provides education for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows working in condensed matter physics, materials science and related fields. The goal is to enable students to work at the frontiers of science and technology by providing expert training not easily available within the traditional system of graduate education and postdoctoral apprenticeship. The School, which is supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Colorado, will meet annually during July in Boulder Colorado. Director: Leo Rad
