FAA AACR2 1950 Place of Birth New Zealand Quantum physicist Peter Drummond is a quantum physicist who is internationally respected for his research in quantum theory, theory of solitons, computational physics, physics of communication and information, laser physics, and Bose-Einstein condensation. His work has led to developments of new theoretical calculations in many-body problems particularly in relation to ultra-cold atoms and in quantum optics. Drummond was Professor of Physics at the University of Queensland from 1989 to 2008 before becoming Science Director of the Centre for Quantum and Optical Science at Swinburne University of Technology. 1971 1971 Award - Fulbright Fellowship, U.S.A. 1989 2008 Career position - Professor of Physics, University of Queensland 2000 Award - Fellow, American Physical Institute 2001 Award - Fellow, Australian Institute of Physics 2002 2002 Award - Forschungspreis, German Humboldt Society 2003 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 2004 2004 Award - Harrie Massey Medal and Prize, Australian Institute of Physics and Institute of Physics, United Kingdom 2007 2007 Award - Moyal Medal, Department of Mathematics, Macquarie University 2008 Career position - Distinguished Professor and Science Director, Centre for Quantum and Optical Science, Swinburne University of Technology 2008 2008 Award - Walter Boas Medal, Australian Institute of Physics 2019 2019 Career position - Weston Visiting Professor, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel Reid, Margaret Daphne Harrie Massey Medal and Prize, Australian Institute of Physics (1990 - )
