A new era of physics, powered by students.
ICPS brings together emerging physicists and mentors to exchange ideas, prototype research, and build lasting collaborations.
A global week of talks, labs, and collaborations where physics students meet frontier research and cultural discovery.
Expected 300+ attendees from 40+ countries.
ENSMR: Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Rabat
Hosted in Rabat, Morocco — a coastal city where research and culture meet.
Pr. Yahya Tayalati
Professor of Physics, Mohammed V University in Rabat. Pr. Tayalati was part of the ATLAS collaboration at the LHC which led to the observation of the Light-by-Light scattering. He is an honorary fellow of the Islamic World Academy of Sciences and has been awarded the prestigious "Mustafa Prize" for all his contributions in physics.
Rajaâ Cherkaoui El Moursli
Resident Member, Hassan II Academy of Science and Technology. High Energy Nuclear Physics - Faculty of Sciences, Mohammed V University in Rabat. She received the prestigious "L'Oréal-UNESCO Award for Women in Science". She made significant contributions to the ATLAS collaboration at the LHC/CERN, which led to the discovery of the Higgs Boson.
Pr. Abdelilah Benyoussef
Resident Member, Hassan II Academy of Science and Technology. Pr. Benyoussef's main research interest is in Ab-initio calculation and Monte carlo method in Magnetism and Phase Transition, Energy (nanomaterials for photovoltaic, hydrogen storage and production, thermoelectricity), and Quantum Information.
Dr. Nabil Khossossi
Researcher at DIFFER, the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research in Eindhoven, Netherlands. His work centers on artificial intelligence for energy materials discovery. He builds automated, high-throughput discovery workflows, including active-learning loops, that couple quantum simulations, machine-learning interatomic potentials, and equivariant graph neural networks to accelerate the design of materials for clean energy.
Dr. Giacomo Spigler
Giacomo Spigler is Assistant Professor at Tilburg University, where he co-manages the AI for Robotics Lab. His main research is in Robot Learning and Deep Reinforcement Learning. However, his background and research interests are varied and span from computer science, to computational neuroscience, to general deep learning for science.
Adrian Buzatu
Adrian Buzatu is a physicist and data scientist who transitioned from particle physics research, including work at Fermilab and CERN, to industry. Since 2019, he has worked in startups, scale-ups, and consulting, applying data science and AI to real-world challenges. At ICPS 2026, he will discuss his journey from academia to the private sector.
