Congratulations to Charles Tam for being awarded the poster prize at the International Conference on Strongly Correlated Electron Systems 2023 (SCES 2023). His project was titled 'Charge Density Waves in Infinite-layer Nickelates.’ 

The conference is billed as the ideal platform for participants to 'freely share and discuss the current status and future directions of scientific and technological achievements in strongly correlated electron systems.' The event, held in Incheon, South Korea, focused on a broad scope of topics including 'fermion and the related fields, oxide physics, topological physics, and spin-orbit physics.' There was also an emphasis on the fast-emerging area of quantum materials.

The prize was awarded for 'outstanding contribution to the field of strongly correlated electron systems among the posters presented at the conference.' On winning the award, Charles Tam had the following to say:

'It was a great feeling to be awarded a poster prize considering all the excellent work presented at the poster sessions at SCES. The work could not have been done without hard work from co-workers at Diamond and the UESTC in China.'
