Congratulations - Prof Susan Scott |
|
On her admission to the Australian Academy of Science. This recognizes Susan's outstanding and ongoing contribution to her field, as well as to the broader community.
Prof Scott has made ground-breaking discoveries in the fields of general relativity and gravitational wave science. Her theoretical work includes advancing our understanding of both singularities and the global structure of space-time. Prof Scott has also been a pioneer in the analysis of astrophysical signatures in gravitational wave experiments.
Membership of the Academy is a recognition of an individual's role for social and scientific advocacy. Please congratulate Prof Scott as our newest Academician. |
