Ray's 60th Celebration

Friday, July 24, 2020 - Sunday, July 26, 2020 (all day)

In July 2020, Raymond Laflamme will turn 60. To celebrate this milestone, an anniversary conference is in order. Ray’s main wish is to hear from his former students and postdocs. We therefore decided to invite exclusively people who, at one point or another in their career, were under the mentorship of this accomplished scientist.

This reunion conference is meant the be low-key and relaxed –a time to hear from and catch up with old friends and colleagues while having some fun, good food and perhaps challenge Ray to a good old game of ball hockey!

We would like an update from as many of you as possible. Let us know if you would like to give a five or twenty-five minute presentation, or just catch up with people during social time. Your presentation can, but doesn’t have to be an academic talk. It can be an update on your career, what you work on, or something else that you want to share with the group.  Ideally, your presentation would link back to Ray. Presentation spots are limited.

Date: July 24-26 (all day, finishing around 5pm on Sunday)

Location: Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo

Organizing Committee:
Aharon Brodutch, University of Toronto
Martin Laforest, ISARA Corporation
Shayan Majidy, Institute for Quantum Computing
Daniel Park, Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology
