The Australian Institute of Physics Women in Physics Lecture Tour celebrates the contribution of women to advances in physics. The AIP Women in Physics Group is pleased to announce the AIP Women in Physics Lecturer for 2007.

Professor Tanya Monro
Chair of Photonics and Director, DSTO Centre of Expertise in Photonics (CoEP)
School of Chemistry and Physics, University of Adelaide
Bragg Gold Medal winner, 1998

Professor Monro is another outstanding addition to the proud tradition of Australian Institute of Physics Women in Physics Lecturers. Her research focusses on the development of optical fibres in new materials (in particular soft glasses) and the application of new fibre concepts to a range of applications, in particular in defence and sensing. The “Centre of Expertise in Photonics” is world-class, and the first of its kind in Australia. Since its establishment in 2005, Professor Monro has built the centre into a team of 20 researchers.

Professor Monro will visit each of the six Australian State capital cities and present lectures to varied audiences: professionals, school students and the general public. She may also visit universities and other scientific centres throughout Australia, to give research colloquia. AIP members will be notified when details of the lectures, their times and venues are finalized.
