Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
Following on from Prof Lan Fu’s School-wide email I would like to add my congratulations to the team comprising the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS), which was announced by Minister Tehan in the Oliphant Tea room last Friday. It is fantastic news and the first Centre we have lead since the Centre for Antimatter-Matter Studies, lead by Prof Steve Buckman, concluded in 2013. This week’s pic shows the Centre Director, Prof Dragomir Neshev (NLPC) thanking the Minister and ARC for their support.
My congratulations also to Ms Lauren Bezzina (NP) on being awarded the College of Science Janet Elspeth Crawford award for postgraduate leadership (see story below).
The American Institute of Physics journal, Physics of Plasmas, will recognise Em/Prof Rod Boswell for his outstanding contribution to refereeing for the journal later this month as the Division meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
This week in preparations for the ARPANSA audit in December I will be contacting all group leaders who use registerable lasers in their work about a schedule to review our laser facilities. This will require close physical inspection of labelling and safety measures for all of our 300+ lasers in Physics. Where possible we will auto-fill inspection templates to assist you. Once these are ready I will be in touch directly.
Have a good week,
Tim |
