We are pleased to announce the winner of the 2025 CSIRO Alumni scholarship in Physics.

Luke Johnstone will be awarded the $6,000 travel scholarship to support his project, “Extending the Frontier of Pure and Applied Nuclear Physics”

He will be travelling to the USA to participate in a forthcoming experiment at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).

FRIB is a new, world-leading nuclear-research facility that hosts the world’s most powerful heavy-ion accelerator. The FRIB ‘era of discovery’ will create unique partnerships between experiment and theory and is set to revolutionise research in nuclear science through experiments with unparalleled capacity to extend towards, and beyond, the known limits of nuclear existence.
