The Advanced Laboratory Physics Association (ALPhA), founded in 2007, is an assocation of college and university faculty and staff dedicated to advanced experimental physics instruction. ALPhA is independent and separate from the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), the American Physics Society (APS), and the Optical Society of America (OSA), but works with these organizations to advance instruction.
