About the winner:
Professor Tobar has published prolifically in the last five years, with over sixty publications in the area of instrumentation and experimental physics, as well as several patent applications. His major area of research is precise frequency generation. He has pursued a range of topics in this area, from invention of new methods for precise frequency generation to application of these to fundamental tests of the laws of physics, and commercial and space applications. Particular areas of endeavor have included microwave and laser frequency stabilisation, low noise interferometric phase/amplitude measurement systems, theoretical and experimental investigations of low-loss crystalline dielectric resonators and related techniques to improve the line width of microwave cavity resonators. His tests of the foundations of physics have included the first calculation of the response of whispering gallery modes to speed of light anisotropy, and the most sensitive tests ever of Lorentz Invariance in the photon sector in the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
