FAA AACR2 20 November 1951 Place of Birth Omsk, Russia Physicist Victor Flambaum is Professor and Head of the Theoretical Physics Department at the University of New South Wales. Much of his early professional life was spent in his home land of Russia at the Novosibirksk University and at Universities and Institutes in the United Sates of America where he held many visiting scientist appointments. Flambaum moved to Australia in 1991 to take up his current post where he and his co-workers have produced important results in atomic physics and nuclear physics, particularly in the area of violation of fundamental symmetries of the nucleus, which have opened up new areas of research. Flambaum has also developed a new statistical theory which is applicable to compound nuclei, complex excited atoms and atomic clusters. Taken in part from the Australian Academy of Science Newsletter, No. 47, May-August 2000. In 2015 Flambaum was awarded the New South Wales Premier's Prize for Excellence in Mathematics, Earth Sciences, Chemistry and Physics. 1974 1974 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), Novosibirsk University in Russia 1974 1991 Career position - Assistant Scientist (later Lead Scientist) at the Institute for Nuclear Physics of USSR Academy of Science at Novosibirsk University 1975 1991 Career position - Assistant then Professor and Docent at the Novosibirsk State University 1978 1978 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Novosibirsk University 1981 1981 Award - USSR Academy of Science (Siberian Division) Award received 1983 1983 Award - Lenin Komosomol Prize for Science received 1987 1987 Education - Doctor of Science (DSc), Novosibirsk University 1990 1991 Career position - Visiting Fellow at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics, University of Colorado, USA 1991 Career position - Professor and Chair of the Department, University of New South Wales 1991 1991 Career position - Visiting Fellow, Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of California, California, U.S.A. 1991 1991 Life event - Settled in Australia 1992 1992 Award - Fellow, Australian Institute of Physics (FAIP) 1996 1996 Career position - Visiting Fellow, Harvard University and Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 2000 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 2000 2000 Award - Templeton Award, U.S.A.
