The Anglo-French Physical Acoustics Conference (AFPAC) is an in-person event, and organised by the IOP Physical Acoustics Group, Le Groupe d’Acoustique Physique and the Sous-marine et UltraSonore (GAPSUS) of the Société Française d’Acoustique (SFA). AFPAC provides a forum to explore and share cutting-edge research in physical acoustics and ultrasonics. With its deliberately broad scope, the conference fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation across diverse applications. Conference topics include (but are not limited to): theoretical developments (all methods); experimental measurements; transduction; linear or nonlinear elastic or acoustic (bulk, surface, guided) wave radiation, propagation, scattering and reception; application to material characterisation, biomedical ultrasound, imaging (non-destructive testing, medical, underwater, seismology), SAW in electronic devices. This conference would be of particular interest to IOP special interest groups: Biological Physics Group, Materials and Characterisation Group, Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Group, Medical Physics Group, Optical Group, Physical Acoustics Group, Women in Physics Group, but all are welcome.
