Physics homework isn’t always at the desk for this SAC student!
On Monday night, 11 August, one of our senior Year 11 Physics students, Banafsha braved the elements to attend a special lecture at The University of Adelaide by a renowned quantum physicist Dr Sol Jacobsen (PhD 2010). Dr Sol who has been jointly awarded the Australian Institute of Physics’ (AIP) federal medal for Women in Physics for her significant contribution to physics, gave an edge of your seat insight into our future in Quantum Computing and electron spintronics — the physics of harnessing the quantum spin of electrons to store and process information.
Banafsha said it was a great chance to hear directly from a leading physicist about where the future of technology is heading and how Physics fits into that. She left inspired by how the physics she studies in class connects to breakthroughs in ultra-fast computing and energy-efficient data storage as well as the contributions women in Physics are making in our world.
Well done Banafsha, it was a great evening, time well spent!
