About the event
The scholarship commemorates the contributions that four cherished colleagues Drs. John Dunlop, Gerry Haddad, Don Price and Tony Farmer made to Australian science.
The event will be hosted by Tanya Bowes, CSIRO Director of Corporate Affairs, Dr Scott Martin, Dr Bob Steele and Helen Lorigan, CEO of LCU
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. John Dunlop, Tony Farmer, Gerry Haddad and Don Price who died in a helicopter crash in March 2013. The $6,000 travel scholarship helps post-graduate students visit and/or conduct research in an overseas or interstate institution such as a university or research.
