NSW AIP Physics in Industry Student Prize

The NSW AIP Physics in Industry Student Prize was established in 1998 and is awarded annually at the NSW-AIP Physics in Industry day for the best poster presentation on a industry-related physics project with significant technological content and commercial application by a NSW Ph.D. student. The posters are judged by a panel of 3 AIP members drawn from University, Government, and private organisations (1 from each).
