THE WALSH MEDAL
The award recognizes significant contributions by a practising physicist to industry in Australia. The Walsh Medal for Service to Industry was inaugurated in 2002 by the AIP. It is named for the late Sir Alan Walsh, who was the originator and developer of Atomic Absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and pioneered its applications as a tool in chemical analysis.
Nominations: Any member may nominate any qualified person. Nominations should be received by the AIP Special Projects Officer by the new date of 16 September 2008.
General Conditions: The award consists of a medal and is open for competition among persons resident in Australia for at least 5 of the 7 years preceding the closing date for applications. The award will be given for physics research and/or development that have led to patents, processes or inventions which, in the opinion of the judging panel, have led to significant industrial and/or commercial outcomes, such as devices that are being manufactured or have influenced a major industrial process.
Presentation of the Award: The medal will be presented at the AIP Congress in Adelaide in December 2008, at which the medallist will present a lecture on the subject of the award.
Applications and nominations should be sent by email attachment to this address or to the Special Projects Officer at Olivia Samardzic, 205 Labs, EWRD, DSTO, P.O. Box 1500, Edinburgh, SA 5111.
Previous Winners:
