  4. Mission& Vision • To serve the community to promote continued advancement in physics and related areas, and to promote close networking of Korean physicists. • Technical Excellence • US-Korea Cooperation • Professional Networking • Career Development • Community Service • 협회는 물리학에 관한 학술의 발전 장려 및 회원 상호간의 긴밀한 유대를 도모함을 목적으로 한다. • 한국 물리학계와 연락 및 협조. • 북미주(미국, Canada포함) 물리 학회와의 연락 및 협조. • 물리학에 관한 정보 교환 및 협조. • 한국계 재미물리학자의 권익 옹호. • 기타 협회의 목적 달성에 필요한 사업. • 협회의 사업연도는 매년 5월 1일부터 다음해 4월 30일까지로 한다.

  5. Activities and Programs • Recognize and promote excellence in research • Outstanding Young Researcher Award • Publish Newsletters regularly • Promote and facilitate Korean Physicist Symposia at specialized conferences, e.g., • American Physical Society (APS) division meetings, American Geophysical Union (AGU), American Astronomical Society (AAS) meetings, etc. • Organize various regional activities, e.g., public lectures for local Korean-American communities • Collaborate with other Korean-American and Korean organizations, such as Korean Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA) and Korean Physical Society (KPS) • Collaborate with American Physical Society, e.g., Forum on International Physics

  6. Outstanding Young Researcher Award (OYRA) • AKPA recognizes outstanding young researchers early on in their careers through the OYRA. • Awarded every year to one or two outstanding young (< 5 yr after Ph.D.) Korean physicists in North America since 1994. • in a rigorous selection process • $1,500 cash award • Many OYRA awardees play important roles in Korea and the United States. • Two winners of OYRA 2012 will be selected in January 2012. • The Korean Physical Society (KPS) will sponsor one of the two awards.

  7. AKPA Newsletters • Newsletters help us stand closer to the community. • Newsletters play an important role in building a strong organization. • Currently published quarterly • Member News • Science and Technology News • Scholarship and Education News • 2 – 3 featured research articles • Awards and opportunities • Upcoming meeting announcements

  8. Korean Physicist Symposium at the 2011 APS April Meeting

  9. Cooperation with American Physical Society Korean Physicist Symposium was held as a Satellite meeting of the 53rd Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics (DPP), Salt Lake City, Utah, November 15, 2011.

  10. Cooperation with Korean Physical Society • KPS will sponsor one of the two OYRA 2012 awards. • AKPA-KPS joint workshop, “US-Korea Workshop: International Cooperation on Particle, Nuclear and Astrophysics Research,” is being organized as part of the KPS 60th Anniversary Celebration, which will be held in Daejeon, Korea, April 24-27, 2012. • AKPA to help collaboration between KPS and APS. • The APS President Bob Byer will meet the KPS President in Korea in February 2012.

  11. Cooperation with Korean Scientists and Engineers Association • AKPA organized a Physics (Technical Group A of KSEA) Session and a forum on Rare Isotope Beam Accelerator for the US-Korea Conference on Science, Technology and Entrepreneurship (UKC 2011), which was held in Park City, Utah, August 10-14, 2011. • AKPA will launch the National High School Physics Contest to promote an interest in physics for high school students and to identify potential students who will be successful in physics. • As a pilot program, a set of physics problems will be prepared for two KSEA Chapters, North Texas and North Carolina, during the National Mathematics & Science Competition (NMSC 2012).

  12. 2011 – 2012 AKPA Events

  13. AKPA Membership Lifetime Members • The number of members registered on the e-mail list is over 500. • The paid AKPA-KSEA members in 2011 increased by a factor of two compared to 2010. • Join both KSEA and AKPA by selecting “AKPA” as your Affiliated Professional Society (APS) on the KSEA web site. • Your regular membership fee is not sufficient to cover the expenses of all our activities but the number of members is an important factor for external funding.
