Description
In addition to its Commissions IUPAP has a number of Working Groups which aim to focus and develop new research fields and activities that would be difficult to resource through traditional methods. The Working Group on International Cooperation in Nuclear Physics (WG.9) will serve as an example what these groups can achieve.
Anthony is the Elder Professor of Physics at the University of Adelaide. From 2004-2009 he served as Chief Scientist at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in the United States. He was President of the AIP from 1991-93, served six years as secretary of the IUPAP Commission on Nuclear Physics, was the inaugural Chair of IUPAP WG.9 and is currently Vice-Chair of the Asian Nuclear Physics Association.
