From Rob Robinson, President of the Australian Institute of Physics

Dear Joel,

First, I have great pleasure today in announcing two AIP awards: Lloyd Hollenberg from the University ofMelbourne is the recipient of the 2012 Walter Boas Medal, which recognises excellence in research inphysics in Australia; and David Jamieson, also from the University of Melbourne, is the recipient of the 2012Outstanding Service to Physics Award. I congratulate them on the outstanding achievements that have led totheir awards, of which more below.

Since my last bulletin, the Government has issued its budgetmuch as expected but perhaps not as bad assome may have feared. Science didnt rate a mention in the Treasurers budget night speech, but I was gladto hear that funding for research infrastructure had been renewed, with $185.9 million over two years to

support national research facilities. I reiterate my previous advice to lobby your local candidates for theupcoming September election, on behalf of science in general and physics in particular.

Another issue which will affect many physicists is the new Defence Export Controls regimen. Over the nexttwo years, new measures will come in for the export of intangibles like electronic files, drawings and so on.On the plus side, the change in legislation should open up more funding and commercial opportunities in theUnited States for Australian scientists.

Former AIP president Cathy Foley, who sits on the Prime Ministers Science, Engineering and InnovationCouncil, gave the AIP Executive an update on the Defence Export Controls and the PMSEIC at our Maymeeting, at the Australian Astronomical Observatorys new home in North Ryde, NSW.

Other key items of discussion were the close-out of the 2012 Congress, preparation for the 2014 Congress inCanberra, with dates now set for 7-11 December 2014, and continued thought as to whether we should bid tohost the 2016 pan-Asian physics meeting in conjunction with that years AIP Congress.

Also, I have a lot of AIP and other activities to report on, including some key awards that are currently openfor nomination, an Australian tour by the UK physicist and international TV star Brian Cox, the VictorianBranch upcoming talk and tour at ARPANSA (the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear SafetyAgency), and an insight into industrial physics from the AIP WA Branch.

Particle physicist Elisabetta Barberio, whose research group was involved in last years discovery of the HiggsBoson, has been chosen as the 2013 AIP Women in Physics lecturer. In addition to being an outstandingresearcher, Elisabetta is committed to promoting physics to a wider audience. I congratulate Elisabetta onher selection, and look forward to a successful series of talks around the country inspiring young women toconsider a career in physics.

The ACT Branch is inspiring students to think creatively about physics with their 2013 Frame Your Physicscompetition which requires entrants to produce a short, fun video illustrating a physics concept. And theSeeing Stars SKA Art Prize is calling for submissions of artworks on a physics themeinspired by theSquare Kilometre Array.

The AIP also recognises excellence in physics through a number of awards. The Walter Boas Medal for

excellence in research and the Bragg Gold Medal for the most outstanding PhD thesis in physics are nowopen for nomination. And we are also receiving nominations for the AIP Award for Outstanding Service toPhysics in Australia. See the details and closing dates below.

As for myself, I am joining the Board of Science and Technology Australia, and will be representing all thesocieties in the Physical Sciences Cluster. Ill attend my first meeting in Brisbane at the end of May.

Lloyd Hollenberg and David Jamieson announced as AIP award

recipients

Today I announce that two outstanding physicists from the University of Melbourne have been recognised bythe AIP for their contributions to physics.

Prof Lloyd Hollenberg is awarded the 2012 Walter Boas Medal, for his pioneering contributions to the field of

quantum science and technology. His seminal research work in areas such as quantum computing/devicetheory and quantum sensing are truly world-leading, as demonstrated by his outstanding publication record inhighly prestigious international journals.

Prof David Jamieson is the recipient of the 2012 Award for Outstanding Service to Physics, for his outstandingservice to the discipline of physics over many years, including contributions to outreach, physics education,research and leadership, particularly in the Einstein Year of Physics and development of the Decadal Plan forPhysics. David has a longstanding and well demonstrated passion for physics and has supported itsadvancement both as an outstanding professional scientist and also as a tireless advocate for the support andstudy of physics.

As I note below, nominations are now open for the same awards in 2013, plus the Bragg Gold medal.

2013 AIP medals open for nomination

I encourage you to consider nominating yourself, a student or a colleague, as appropriate, for one of thefollowing AIP awards, which recognise research excellence and outstanding service to physics.

The following AIP medals and awards are now open for nomination:

The Walter Boas Medal, which recognises excellence in research in physics in Australia (in the pastfive years) by an AIP member nominations close 1 August 2013

The Bragg Gold Medal for excellence in physics, which recognises the student who is judged to havecompleted the most outstanding PhD thesis in physics under the auspices of an Australian university in thepast yeareach Australian university may nominate one candidate, and these nominations must reach theState AIP Branch committee by 1 July 2013

The AIP Award for Outstanding Service to Physics in Australiaa Branch Committee, or threemembers of the AIP, may nominate an individual AIP member who has made an exceptional contribution tophysics as a discipline by 1 August 2013

Elisabetta Barberio to present the AIPs 2013 Women in Physics

lecture tour

Prof Elisabetta Barberio, from the University of Melbourne, hasbeen selected to present this years Women in Physics lecturetour. Shell talk to both public audiences and school anduniversity students across Australia.

Elisabetta was chosen for both her significant contribution in

the field of particle physics and her commitment to physicsoutreach. She currently leads the ATLAS analysis effort at theARC Centre of Excellence for Particle Physics at theTerascale. In 2012, her group had an important role in thediscovery of the Higgs-like particle at the Large Hadron Colliderthat has recently been confirmed as the Higgs boson.

Industrial Physics Evening - WA Branch news

Bruce Hartley, WA Branch Treasurer, tells us about their annual Industrial Physics Evening, which was held

on 21 May.

Three industrial physicists gave the audience of 40 or so, including physics students, an idea of theopportunities in industry for physics graduates.

Dr Gavin Rech, of the company TOMRA, presented his work on ore-sorting machines, which separate coal orother valuable mineral ores from low-grade materials or waste rock. The machines use a number of sensingmethods to distinguish rocks with valuable mineral content from those which can go to waste. The machinesthen use blasts of compressed air to separate the rocks into graded bins as they run off the end of theconveyor belt. The high processing speed of these instruments makes them valuable for upgrading minedores.

Dr Greg Bush, from the company MetOcean, described his work with ocean current sensors, which candetermine the effects on ocean currents of climate changes or strong weather conditions. Interlayer boundarywaves in the ocean form currents that are associated with very strong ocean movements. Such waves travellong distances across oceans and can be stronger than storm surges. Information collected from sensingthem remotely is valuable for examining ocean conditions and sensing wave actions. Moored sensors canprovide additional information of deep ocean conditions.

Professor Tim St Pierre talked about the sensing of iron in the body and maladies which can result fromabnormal iron metabolism. The company Resonance Health is an international business which uses thetechniques for measuring iron concentrations in the body to aid diagnosis and treatment. After discussing thescience of iron detection, Professor St Pierre recounted his experiences in bringing the measuring techniquesto commercial realisation, through the patenting process and fund raising to their business model to aprofitable enterprise.
