Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
It’s my great pleasure to welcome Dr Horst Punzmann into his new role in the School as Facility Manager for the ACT-node of the Australian Nano-Fabrication Facility. Horst is a very familiar face in Physics working on the H1 stellarator and more recently fluid dynamics. Over the past year Horst has developed a close working relationship with the ANFF staff as they prepare for one of the most complex equipment relocation exercises we’ve seen.
Some very exciting news from Singapore with Professor Ping Koy Lam (QST) taking up a prestigious fractional appointment with A*STAR as Chief Quantum Scientist (CQS) for the next three years. Above Ping Koy is seen standing in Fusionopolis, below the stunning view from his office window. I’m certain Ping Koy would welcome visitors. As chief he’ll provide strategic direction and advise on research priorities in quantum for A*STAR and associated Singaporean Universities. In Ping Koy’s absence, Professor Ben Buchler (QST) will led the ANU chapter of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T).
Dr Phil Dooley has just posted episode three of Megavolts, interviewing A/Professor Steve Tims (NPAA) about the role accelerator mass spectrometry plays in environmental monitoring and recently his involvement in establishing the geological marker for the Anthropocene.
I’m very pleased to announce that the School submitted 35 projects for the next round of CoS Future Research Talent and Chennupati and Vidya Jagadish Visiting Scholarships, both to be run in-person in 2023. It will be fantastic to see these wonderful students once more in our research groups around mid-2023.
Have a good week,
Tim |
