在2024年的22位获奖者中，悉尼大学是五位研究人员的骄傲之家，其中四位来自理学院，一位来自工程学院。 副校长（研究）emmajohnston教授说：“没有什么比得到同龄人的认可更光荣的了。 我们为2024年科学院的五位获奖者感到无比自豪。 我知道我们的研究人员并不是为了获得认可而开始他们的职业生涯的，但这一认可是对他们几十年来日复一日所做的杰出工作的致敬。 科学院院长陈努帕蒂·贾加迪什教授表示，该奖项表彰了澳大利亚各地研究人员的不同贡献以及长期致力于科学的力量。 他说：“从气候变化到公共卫生，澳大利亚研究人员正在应对我们社区每天面临的挑战。”。 “他们致力于追求知识，丰富了我们对周围世界的理解，为子孙后代树立了伟大的榜样。 “能有机会表彰他们对科学的贡献是一种莫大的荣幸。 “mawson奖章和讲师adriana dutkiewicz博士，地球科学adriana dutkiewics博士在过去的十年里推动了我们对深海沉积和长期碳循环的理解，长期碳循环是碳在固体地球、大气和海洋之间的运动。 虽然碳是生命的支柱，但将二氧化碳排放到大气中的环境变化会导致地球温度升高。 dutkiewicz博士利用50年的数据绘制了全球深海沉积物的数字地图，这是第一张此类地图。 她还领导了对海底沉积物运动的研究。 她说，她的团队在印度洋东南部8000公里的山脊上发现了一大堆沉积物，这在以前是未知的。 “该区域可能包含地球过去气候的高分辨率记录，但仍有待于钻探和使用船只绘制正确的地图。 安华克奖章和演讲人tonyweis教授，生命与环境科学，charlesperkins中心教授tonyweiss是研究和应用皮肤和血管弹性和回弹所需的人体弹性蛋白的国际领导者。 他的科学创新为其在澳大利亚最大的医疗保健交易之一中的商业翻译提供了便利。 维斯教授的科学领导已经定义了原弹性蛋白的形状，阐明了细胞如何通过称为整合素的特定分子对原弹性蛋白作出反应及其结合机制，定义了如何调节自组装，并阐明了控制这种组装过程的规则。 他为特定的生物医学应用创造了复杂的弹性结构，可以协调细胞生长和增强组织修复。 南希·米利斯科学女性奖章物理学和悉尼纳米物理学教授安妮塔·霍贝利是开发下一代太阳能电池的先驱，该电池将在向碳中和经济转型中发挥重要作用。 传统的硅基太阳能电池在将高能光转化为电能方面效率低下。 何教授的研究重点是多结太阳能电池，利用一系列半导体材料在一个电池内吸收不同的太阳能光谱，显著提高能量转换效率。 她在利用金属卤化物钙钛矿的多结太阳能电池方面取得了创纪录的效率。 她最近的突破解决了钙钛矿电池在湿热条件下的降解问题。 这标志着朝着耐用、商业可行的钙钛矿电池迈出了关键一步，并巩固了她在推进这项技术方面的作用。 除了研究之外，何教授还致力于激励stem领域和科学传播领域的年轻人。 克里斯托弗·海德奖章克里斯托弗·拉斯蒂博士，数学与统计学通常不可能写出准确的数学表达式来完美地描述极其复杂的自然系统，如蚂蚁群体的集体行为、轨道黑洞产生的引力波或飞机机翼上的气流。 渐近逼近理论可以准确地预测这些复杂系统将如何变化和演化，即使它们太复杂而无法精确求解。 christopher-slusti博士是开发新的渐近近似方法的专家，该方法捕捉了被广泛使用的经典近似技术所掩盖的重要行为。 利用这些新方法，他解决了实际科学环境中出现的悬而未决的数学问题，例如解释水下障碍物后面形成的波浪的形状，或者实验室粒子链中脉冲所经历的能量损失。 他发现，复杂的离散系统包含以前未知的重要“临界点”。 当系统接近其中一个点时，如果对系统的设置方式进行细微的更改，其行为可能会发生巨大变化。 拉斯蒂博士的方法使得准确地捕捉系统在接近这些临界点时的行为成为可能。 约翰•布克（johnbooker）奖章副教授朱丽娜（lining arnold），生物医学工程副教授朱安娜（arnold）在生物力学和机械生物学方面的研究取得了重大发现，包括细胞如何利用单个受体通过将机械信号转换为生物信息来感知、阅读和响应机械信号。 这个过程有助于我们理解细胞与环境相互作用和相互交流的机械方式。 作为第一位工程师和悉尼大学第一位获得著名雪奖学金的人，他展示了他对推进生物力学工程的坚定承诺。 他的设想是制造一种可以预测凝血趋势的微型设备，以警告有心脏病发作或中风风险的人，这可能会挽救澳大利亚和世界各地的生命。 朱副教授对生物力学工程的创新贡献有可能彻底改变诊断和手术工具，通过将最先进的工程原理应用于关键的医疗挑战，最终改善无数人的生活。australian academy of science recognises outstanding work in geosciences, mathematics, solar energy research, biomedical engineering and applied biological sciences.(from left) professor tony weiss, professor anita ho-baillie, dr christopher lustri, dr adriana dutkiewicz, associate professor lining arnold ju.the australian academy of science has recognised the work of five university of sydney researchers in its annual honorific awards.the awards celebrate the achievements of the country’s leading minds, including early career researchers and those who have spent a lifetime contributing to science.of the 22 recipients in the 2024 awards, the university of sydney is the proud home for five researchers, four from the faculty of science and one from the faculty of engineering.deputy vice-chancellor (research) professor emma johnston said: “there is rarely a greater honour than being recognised by your peers. we are immensely proud of the five 2024 recipients of honorifics from the academy of science. i know our researchers don’t embark on their careers for the recognition, but this acknowledgement pays tribute to the decades of outstanding work they do, day in and day out.” academy of science president professor chennupati jagadish said the awards recognise the diverse contributions of researchers across australia and the power of long-term commitment to science.“from climate change to public health, australian researchers are addressing the challenges our communities face every day,” he said.“their dedication to the pursuit of knowledge enriches our understanding of the world around us and sets a great example for generations to come.“it is a tremendous privilege to be given the opportunity to honour their contributions to science.”mawson medal and lecturedr adriana dutkiewicz, geosciencesdr adriana dutkiewicz has spent the past decade advancing our understanding of deep-sea sedimentation and the long-term carbon cycle, which is the movement of carbon between the solid earth, atmosphere and oceans. while carbon is the backbone of life, changes to the environment that put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere result in warmer temperatures on earth.dr dutkiewicz used 50 years of data to develop a digital map of global deep-sea sediments– the first of its kind. she has also led research into the movement of sediments across the seafloor.she said her team discovered a huge pile of sediment along an 8000-kilometre segment of the south-east indian ridge of the southern ocean, which had not been known before.“that area potentially contains a very high-resolution record of earth’s past climate, but it still remains to be drilled and properly mapped using ships.”ian wark medal and lectureprofessor tony weiss, life and environmental sciences, charles perkins centreprofessor tony weiss is the international leader on studies and applications of the human elastic protein needed for resilience and recoil in skin and blood vessels. his scientific innovations have facilitated its commercial translation in one of australia’s largest healthcare transactions. professor weiss’s scientific leadership has defined tropoelastin’s shape, elucidated how cells respond to tropoelastin through specific molecules called integrins and their binding mechanisms, defined how to modulate self-assembly, and articulated the rules governing this assembly process. he has created intricate elastic architectures tailored to specific biomedical applications that orchestrate cell growth and enhance tissue repair.nancy millis medal for women in scienceprofessor anita ho-baillie, physics and sydney nanothe john hooke chair of nanoscience professor anita ho-baillie is a pioneer in developing next-generation solar cells which will play an important role in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. traditional silicon-based solar cells are inefficient at converting high-energy light into electricity. professor ho-baillie’s research focuses on multi-junction solar cells, utilising a range of semiconductor materials to absorb different sections of the solar spectrum within a single cell, significantly enhancing energy-conversion efficiency. she has achieved record efficiencies for multi-junction solar cells utilising metal-halide perovskites. her recent breakthrough addresses the issue of perovskite cell degradation in heat and humidity. this marks a pivotal step toward durable, commercially viable perovskite cells and solidifies her role in advancing this technology. beyond research, professor ho-baillie is deeply committed to inspiring young minds in stem fields and science communication. christopher heyde medal dr christopher lustri, mathematics & statisticsit is often impossible to write down exact mathematical expressions to perfectly describe extremely complex natural systems such as the collective behaviour of a colony of ants, gravitational waves generated by orbiting black holes, or the flow of air over an aircraft’s wing. asymptotic approximation theory can accurately predict how these complicated systems will change and evolve, even when they are far too complicated to solve exactly. dr christopher lustri is an expert in developing new asymptotic approximation methods that capture important behaviour that is hidden from widely used classical approximation techniques. using these new methods, he has resolved open mathematical problems arising in practical scientific settings, such as explaining the shape of waves that form behind submerged obstacles, or the energy loss experienced by pulses in laboratory particle chains. he discovered that complex discrete systems contain important ‘tipping points’ that were previously unknown. if subtle changes are made to how the system is set up when the system is near one of these points, its behaviour can change dramatically. dr lustri’smethods make it possible to accurately capture how systems behave when they are near these tipping points.john booker medalassociate professor lining arnold ju, biomedical engineeringassociate professor lining (arnold) ju’s research in biomechanics and mechanobiology has led to crucial discoveries, including how cells use single receptors to sense, read and respond to mechanical cues by converting them into biological messages. this process helps us understand the mechanical way cells interact with their environment and communicate with each other. as the first engineer and first university of sydney recipient of the prestigious snow fellowship, he has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to advancing biomechanical engineering. his vision involves creating a tiny device that predicts blood clotting tendency to warn people at risk of heart attacks or strokes, potentially saving lives in australia and around the world. associate professor ju’s innovative contributions to biomechanical engineering have the potential to revolutionise diagnostics and surgical tools, ultimately improving countless lives by applying state-of-the-art engineering principles to critical healthcare challenges.本文来源： 五名悉尼研究人员获澳大利亚科学院表彰
