Giulia Cinquegrana

The 2023 scholarship winner is Giulia Cinquegrana

Giulia is a third-year PhD student in theoretical astrophysics and is planning to visit Europe in August 2023.

Giulia’s research concerns the evolution and chemical contributions of stars with very high initial metal content. Her visit will strongly support the pursuit of answers to questions prioritised by the Australian decadal plan for astronomy, including how elements are produced by stars and recycled through galaxies, how galaxies form and evolve across cosmic time, and how stars and planets form.

About the Scholarship

The CSIRO Alumni Scholarship in Physics was established to commemorate the scientific contributions of Drs.
