Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
My heartfelt congratulations to Dr Mika Kohonen, who will take the reins running our PEC teaching laboratories. Mika has been running the labs brilliantly for so long it is a great pleasure to see him permanently in this leadership role. Please take a moment to say hi to Mika (above) when you’re next in the teaching labs.
Just a reminder that Market Day will be this Thursday, 1130-1430, in the foyer of the new building. My thanks as always to A/Prof Cormac Corr (DMP) for coordinating the event, to Martin Conway (SCU) for putting the booklet together and to Nikki Azzopardi (School Admin) for organising the catering. This is an important day in our School’s calendar so if you’re not already standing by a poster please wonder by. It’s a fabulous way to see the diversity of research available to our students. Very regrettably, this will be the first Market Day I’ll miss. I'll be 1 km underground visiting the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) which will host some of the amazing detectors designed and built by NPAA in the search for signatures of Dark Matter. See the School Seminar by Dr. Giorgio Busoni (FTP and ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics) on Thursday for more details.
ANU Open Day is coming up on Sept 3rd and we need several volunteers to staff the Physics booth on the day, running demos and generally answer questions about physics. There will be a curriculum expert at hand to answer technical questions on our course structure. Please let Siobhan Ryman (PEC) know if you can help on Saturday, 3rd Sept, anytime between 0900-1500.
Each day from my office window I can see the stellarator gradually disappearing, see below. Martin Conway has been collecting a time lapse video of this epic process, which we’ll share in the next few weeks. My endless thanks to Mick Blacksell (Tech Workshops) for overseeing this complex project.
Have a great week,
Tim |

Evacuation Process Reminder
With the movement of people into the new building, the School’s warden team is currently in flux and not all areas of our buildings are covered by Floor Wardens.
As such we would like to remind everyone that when the evacuation alarm sounds, you should collect any personal belonging you might need to get home, exit the buildings and head for one of the muster points for our buildings to await further instructions.
You should not wait to be directed by a floor warden to leave the buildings if the evacuation Alarm has activated. |

Physics Project Market Day 2022
|
|
To enable our undergraduate students to have the opportunity to engage more with research conducted within the school, Physics Project Market Day will take place on Thursday 18th August from 12pm to 2pm in the foyer of the new building. The event will be an opportunity to interact directly with undergraduate students by sharing/discussing your research and potential projects with them by presenting a poster.
Contact cormac.corr@anu.edu.au if you have any questions. |
