Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
My congratulations go to Dr Stuart Szigeti on receiving a DECRA in the latest round. His project on “Optimising Space-Based Atom Interferometer Design” will start in the New Year.
MAGIC2019 commences today and will run all week. Brainchild of Profs Nanda Dasgupta (NP) and Nalini Joshi (USyd), MAGIC is a hugely successful mentoring and guidance in careers workshop for early career female or gender diverse researchers in chemistry, mathematics & physics. Sponsors include Universities of Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland, the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low Energy Electronics Technologies and the ANU.
At this time of the year my thoughts go out to our Rural Fire Service volunteers who contribute so very much to the Australian community. I would like to acknowledge and thank the RFS volunteers in our School.
Have a safe week,
Tim |
