Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce the award of our first Frontier: Frontiers on Quantum Matter.  I am so pleased to see this group of outstanding individuals come together and lead-off with this great Frontier.

Next week I will open up an Expression of Interest round for a new Deputy Director position.

This week’s inspiring image was submitted by Professor Denis Evans (Applied Maths) and shows Rams Head Mountain (NSW) from the south.  If you’d like to submit an image, please send me your best pics by Thursday arvo.  

Have a great weekend.

Tim
