Dr Anton P.J. Stampfl

Anton Stampfl is an  experimental solid state physicist working in the field of neutron, electron, and photon-based instrumentation and measurement over the last forty plus years and all over the world from Australia, Europe, the USA, and Asia.  He is a humanist and internationalist who believes that the empowerment of the Global Majority will lead to the next revolution of humanity and civilization. He advocates scientific and technological cooperation and dissemination through all channels, in particular with the intent of truly benefiting the majority on this Earth. Concepts of use and exchange value, of spatial and temporal locality, and the democracy of agency are central ideas to achieve true equity for the Global Majority and the world as a whole. 

Anton is honoured to be the Chair of IVC-23. It is the first time in the Congresses' sixty-plus year history  that the meeting has been hosted in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere. The Vacuum Society of Australia wishes to highlight some of the most interesting and pressing science that can change humanity for the better: Quantum Technology, Energy, Environmental Sustainability, and Human Brain Interfaces along with the nine Scientific Divisional topics. Please join us in September 2025 in Sydney for a refreshing and thought provoking Congress to make new friends and collaborations and get together with existing collaborators and friends for your current and future projects. 

I work in the following areas:

1. Vacuum Science and Technology,

2. Nano-science and technology,

3. Complex systems,

4. Functional materials,

5. Radiation science,

using photons, electrons, neutrons, ions and other particles.
