Summary: TBA
Bio: Céline is the Head of School of Physics at the University of Sydney and a Chief Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Dark Matter Particle Physics. She is an astroparticle physicist who studies cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics.
Céline has worked around the world, most recently as Chair of Physics at the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology at Durham University, in the UK. She previously held academic positions in physics at the Laboratoire d’Annecy-le-Vieux de Physique Théorique in France, CERN in Switzerland, and Oxford University in the UK. She completed her PhD in theoretical physics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris in France and her Master of Science at Ecole Normale Supérieure and the University of Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris. In parallel, she completed a Master of Science in Engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique Féminine in France.
In recognition of her significant contributions to physics and demonstrated impact in her field, Céline was elected as a Fellow of the Institute of Physics in the UK in 2015. Joining the University of Sydney in January 2018, she is only the second woman to be Head of School of Physics in the school’s history.
The National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip is bringing all things quantum and dark matter to communities around Australia, as part of National Science Week. A team of scientists and science communicators will be driving from Brisbane to Perth, 8–26 August 2022, visiting schools, libraries, pubs and other community hubs, with the goal of inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers and highlighting the potential of quantum technologies and dark matter discovery for the future of our society.
We are very grateful to The University of Sydney, especially the School of Physics and the Physics Foundation, for their support of this event.
