Hello Master’s students!

Welcome to Chalmers University of Technology and the Physics Student Division!

The Physics Student Division (Fysikteknologsektionen in Swedish or ftek for short) is a society which aims to make your time at Chalmers as enjoyable as possible.

As a student at one of the following Master’s Programmes:

Applied Physics, MPAPP,
Complex Adaptive Systems, MPCAS,
Nanotechnology, MPNAT,
Nuclear Science and Technology, MPNUE,
Physics and Astronomy, MPPAS,
Engineering Mathematics and Computational Science, MPENM,
Lärande och ledarskap, MPLOL,

you are automatically a member of ftek. ftek is entirely run by its members (as a non-profit) and offers lots of opportunities for your campus life. Together we stand up for the students’ opinions and voices when we cooperate with the university in order to make all our members thrive during their studies.

The site is currently under (re)construction so make sure to join the Facebook group Chalmers – Master’s Students at the Physics Student Division to keep updated on events and also keep in touch with other students about studies, campus life or whatever crosses your mind.

On the 15th of September we will host a BBQ/grill for all the new students from the Master’s Programmes above. You will get free food and an opportunity to meet all your fellow classmates. More info on how to sign up will come later.

We hope you will have a great time here in Gothenburg and make the most out of your stay. If you ever need help or someone to talk to we are always available at styret@ftek.se.

Best regards,
The Physics Student Division Board

Pizza evening with McKinsey & Company

Do you want to know what type of work McKinsey does in advanced analytics?

Join us on April 27 at 17:30 in Fysikhuset, Sal PJ to find out how to turn data into breakthrough business value with learnings from an actual case. We will end the evening in Fysikcentrum with food and drinks. See you there!

Sign up before April 26th by sending an e-mail with your name and education year to Josefine Hedebark: josefine_hedebark@mckinsey.com. Please also include any dietary requirements.

Initiative Seminar on Quantum Technology

13-15 December there is an Initiative Seminar by Chalmers Area of Advance Nanoscience and Nanotechnology here at Chalmers.

Below is a short summary, follow the link for more information: www.chalmers.se/en/areas-of-advance/nano/society-industry/events/initiative_seminar_2016

Quantum Technology aims at exploiting quantum physics for immensely powerful computations and simulations, to achieve ultra sensitive sensing and enhance privacy through physically secure communication. The 24 speakers, representing most aspects of this emerging field, will explain the basic ideas as well as the state-of-the art in this community. There will also be two poster sessions, where interested scientist and industry are welcome to present their work.

Spidera recruitment activity

Tuseday 15/11 Spidera (the physics student division IT crew) holds a cryptography workshop to get to know people interested in joining Spidera. We hope everyone with an interest in programming, IT, Linux and the like shows up and has a nice and educational time with us in Spidera.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely a master student. Even though you’re not the main audience for this workshop you’re welcome to join if you’re interested in the subject matter. Keep in mind that the whole thing will be quite basic, and taught by hobbyists. Even so, I’m sure we’ll have a nice time!

Graduate Physics Day 2015

Are you interested in pursuing a doctorate, but unsure what you’ll actually be doing or what it entails? Or have you already decided, but want to know more about the opportunities or in finding contacts?

In either case Graduate Physics Day is something for you! The 6th of May, from 09:00 to 15:00 there will be an event in Signes where you can talk to PhD students, go on a guided tour in the labs and listen to guest speakers. Later you’ll also be able to join a poster session, view other peoples work and research, and connect with companies. A free lunch is naturally provided!

If this sounds interesting, the easiest way to register is by:

Server problems

As you might have noticed the ftek server was down for most of yesterday. We in Spidera got aware of the problems during the morning but had to wait until the afternoon to get physical access to the server.

When we finally got access it wasn’t long before we got everything up and running again.

We’re sorry for any problems you might have had because of these server issues.
