Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

We wish A/Prof Steve Gibson (LPC) all the very best on retiring after 33 years in the School.  I look forward to seeing Steve continue his research as a member of the Honorary Faculty.

Thanks to all those who attended the PEC meeting on Friday.  If you missed the meeting and would like to know more about teaching in Shandong, please contact A/Prof Jong Chow directly.  If you’d like to add an agenda item for the PEC Planning Day on 12 September, please contact Prof Joe Hope directly.

With academic promotions soon to close I commend those supervisors who encourage their staff to explore the full dimensions of academic contributions detailed in the CoS Academic Standards guidelines (pdf).  These are designed to help EMCRs demonstrate their strengths in research, teaching and service.

Have a great week,

Tim

 

Congratulations to Shankar Dutt (EME) on receiving the AINSE PGRA scholarship.

Congratulations to Mahyar Bokaeeyan, Adrian Ankiewicz, and Nail Akhmediev (TP) on their recent publication Bright and dark rogue internal waves: The Gardner equation approach in journals.aps.org.

 

On the 13th of June, Prof Sharon Parker from Curtin University launched the new Women In Research network. The website contains valuable resources that aim to inform and inspire women in research. Please consider connecting and contributing to the this network, so that together we can create a more equitable and diverse STEM community.
