Mission Statement
The Division of Condensed Matter Physics of the AAPPS represents the condensed matter physics community of all participating and interested physics societies across the Asia and Oceania regions. We aim to strengthen the whole community's academic networking, exchange, and collaboration in the regions by organizing and sponsoring meetings at several levels. We want to play an active role in shaping the future of condensed matter physics in the Asia-Oceania regions and worldwide.
Message from Chair
Prof. Hai-Hu Wen
The DCMP (Division of Condensed Matter Physics) of the AAPPS (Association of the Asian Pacific Physical Society) has come to the third term since the beginning of thisyear (2025). Thanks to the great contributions by all EXCO members of the DCMP-AAPPS in last two terms, especially by the two chairs Prof. Je-Geun Park (Term Jan. 2021―Dec. 2022) and Prof. Hiroyuki Nojiri (Term Jan 2023―Dec. 2024), now our division hasbecome an important platform for the academic exchange and activities concerning condensed matter physics across the Asian Pacific region. Up to date, our division has a membership by six national or regional physical societies, more than 300 individual memberships. Thanks also for the trust and support from our EXCO members, I amelected to serve as the chair of the next term (2025-2026). I am very happy to worktogether with two vice-Chairs, Prof. Kirrily Rule (ANSTO, Sydney), and Prof. Tse-Ming Chen (National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan) and all EXCO members. I feel it is a great honor for me to take this position, and meanwhile it should serve with more and heavierduty than before.
In the new term, we plan to absorb new physical societies to join our DCMP-AAPPS asnew members. Moreover, we hope to expand the individual membership by more than100 in coming two years. The Newsletter will be an important representative of ourDCMP, all correspondences associated with the condensed matter physics in this region are welcome and please addressed to Prof. Tse-Ming Chen. In October 2025, we will havethe APPC16 in Hainan island, China. Our annual conference AC2MP2025 will be hold combined with the sessions of condensed matter physics of this conference. We willactively respond to all academic tasks assigned by the AAPPS to us, such as selectingthe CN Yang prize for condensed matter physics in Asian Pacific region, attract more people to attend the APPC16 and AC2MP meetings, etc. I hope you frequently visit our website http://aapps-dcmp.org/ and find the useful information. I am sure the DCMP-AAPPS will be a very good and fruitful platform for you in your scientific career.
