William Lawrence Bragg (1890 - 1971)
The purpose of the prize is to recognise the work done by a PhD student in Australia that is considered of outstanding quality. Information on the Bragg Gold Medal is on page 189 of the Feb/March issue of the Australian Physics. Nominations close with the State Branches Monday 16 July 2007. CONDITIONS OF THE AWARD: The medal is awarded annually to the student who is judged to have completed the most outstanding Ph.D. thesis under the auspices of an Australian university, whose degree has been approved, but not necessarily conferred, in the thirteen months prior to the closing date for applications to the State Branch (i.e. from the beginning of July 2004 to the end of July 2007). No candidate may be nominated more than once. Only one medal shall be awarded; there is no possibility of a dual award. If the selection committee considers that none of the theses submitted reaches an appropriate standard, no award will be made.
