Michael Brear elected as ATSE Fellow

Dear Colleagues,

Please join me in congratulating Professor Michael Brear, the previous secretary of our Section of the Combustion Institute, on being elected to the 2018 class of Fellows of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE). He will be formally welcomed into the Academy at its Annual Meeting in Melbourne on 23 November.

From the ATSE website:

"Professor Michael Brear is recognised internationally for transport and energy research, his advice to government and for excellence in education. He is an outstanding strategic leader and as such was appointed Director of the Melbourne Energy Institute (MEI) at the University of Melbourne in late 2016. He leads the Institute's research on the technical, economic, environmental and social impacts of energy. Professor Brear will be a strong advocate for industrially focused and impactful research in energy and transport, facilitating collaboration between industry, government agencies and researchers."

Congratulations Michael!

Australian Combustion Summer School

Colleagues:

The First Australian Combustion Summer School (ACSS-2018) will take place at the University of Sydney, 16-21 December 2018.

I would be grateful if you can encourage/support your students and possibly PDoc's to apply.

The deadline for applications is 5th October 2018 which is less than two weeks away (apologies for the short notice but we had to wait for funding approval).

The application site is now open and here is the link:
