2009 Boas Medal awarded to Prof. Victor Flambaum
Victor’s work is focussed on the fundamental constants in nature such as the speed of light, the gravitational constant and the elementary charge. Have these constants changed during the life of the Universe? He is a world authority on variations of the fundamental constants, violation of fundamental symmetries, and tests of unification theories. Victor has had over 70 publications in the last five years, is widely cited, and many experimental groups worldwide are adopting his pioneering theoretical predictions.
