Hareem Khan鈥攐ne of the ten young Australian physicists attending the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.
Ten of Australia鈥檚 top young physicists, seven of them women, have earned the opportunity to attend a highly prestigious annual gathering of Nobel Laureates and emerging scientists from around the world.
The 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Germany will see a record 42 Nobel Prize winners鈥攊ncluding Academy Fellow Professor Brian Schmidt鈥攋oining the young scientists at the event.
The Australian PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers attending are:
Dr Katie Sizeland鈥擯ostdoctoral Fellow, ANSTO, who is investigating the nanostructure and mechanical properties of collagen
Fiona Panther鈥擯hD Candidate, Australian National University, who is researching antimatter in the Milky Way
Eliezer Estrecho鈥擯hD Candidate, ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies, who studies exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensates
Dr Matthew Reeves鈥擯ostdoctoral Fellow, ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies, who is investigating superfluid turbulence and vortex dynamics
Dr Nora Tischler鈥擯ostdoctoral Fellow, Griffith University, who works in quantum optics and nanophotonics
Melanie Hampel鈥擯hD Candidate, Monash University, who works in nuclear astrophysics
Dr Sarah Walden鈥擯ostdoctoral Fellow, Queensland University of Technology, who studies nonlinear optics and material interactions
Hareem Khan鈥擯hD Candidate, RMIT, who works in electrical and electronics engineering of 2D materials
Claire Edmunds鈥擯hD Candidate, University of Sydney, who is researching quantum computing and information
Samuel Hinton鈥擯hD Candidate, University of Queensland, who is researching dark matter by studying supernovae.
These researchers were nominated by the Academy and selected by the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. They will receive a grant to enable their attendance at the event, that runs from 30 June to 5 July 2019, through the generous support of the Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF).
The group will also take part in the SIEF Research Innovation Tour in Germany, led by renowned Australian scientist and Academy Fellow, Professor Chennupati Jagadish. The tour will showcase some of Germany鈥檚 finest research and development, while also providing opportunities to share the research done by the young scientists and encourage scientific collaboration between the two countries.
