EQUS CI Michael Tobar recognised for his outstanding contributions to physics
 |  | Please join us in congratulating Professor Michael Tobar at The University of Western Australia who was awarded the Harrie Massey Medal and Prize by the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP). Professor Tobar created and undertook numerous new precision measurement techniques and experiments in the field of time and frequency, and low temperature quantum physics, with the goal of solving some of the biggest questions in fundamental physics. These led to several translational outcomes. |
The biennial award recognises outstanding contributions to physics made by an Australian citizen working anywhere in the world, or by an Australian resident for work carried out in Australia. Professor Tobar is the 20th recipient of the award since it was established in 1990.
Nominees are evaluated on the excellence and impact of their contributions to physics assessed by publications, prestigious presentations, record of patents and knowledge transfer, and involvement in scientific leadership.
The Massey Medal is a gift of the Institute of Physics (UK) to the AIP and will be presented at the AIP Congress in December by IOP President Elect Michele Dougherty.
