First announcement of the 27th IUPAP Conference on Statistical Physics, StatPhys27
Buenos Aires, Argentina
July 8-12, 2019
This is the first announcement of the 27th IUPAP Conference on Statistical Physics, StatPhys27, which will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on July 8-12, 2019. As in previous editions, StatPhys27 will cover all aspects of statistical physics across many fields and disciplines.
We expect to have a very exciting meeting. Very prestigious researchers from all over the world have already agreed to give plenary and invited talks. We hope that many of you will also participate and contribute with your most recent work.
We seek student candidates with a Master Degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering or Mathematics interested in doing a Ph.D. at the University of the Balearic Islands with Dr. Carles Bona Casas and Joan J. Cerdà. Topics of the Ph.D work are open and to be discussed with the candidate. Nonetheless, we would be very interested in pursuing lines somehow related to the recently awarded projects of the group: study via numerical simulations of the microfluidics in the microvessels and micro-capillaries coated with polymeric structures and/or with the study of responsive magnetic structures as key elements of new fluidic devices. 
Astronomers in Brazil have voiced their disappointment after the European Southern Observatory (ESO) suspended the country’s membership following its failure to ratify an agreement struck in 2010. ESO had allowed Brazil to be an interim member, giving its astronomers access to the consortium’s telescopes, but from 1 April scientists will have to apply for time on a similar basis as non-ESO members.
