She has conducted pioneering research in atom optics, laser micro-manipulation using optical tweezers and laser-enhanced ionisation spectroscopy. In biophysics she has studied the body's balance system and how the brain detects gravity. At the University of Queensland Rubinsztein-Dunlop was appointed Professor of Physics in 2000 and was Head of the School of Mathematics and Physics from 2010 - 2014. 1978 1978 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of Gothenburg 1989 1989 Life event - Settled in Australia 2000 Career position - Professor of Physics, School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Queensland 2000 2003 Career position - International Councillor, Optical Society of America 2000 2005 Career position - Head, Department of Physics, University of Queensland 2002 2007 Career position - Chair, Nanotechnology Technical Group 2003 2010 Career position - Program Manager, Chief Investigator, ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Computer Technology 2006 2009 Career position - Head, School of Physical Sciences, University of Queensland 2007 Career position - Member, Assessment Panel 2, Physical Chemical and Earth Sciences Research Quality Framework (RQF) 2009 2010 Career position - President, Optics Within Life Sciences, Optical Society of America 2010 2014 Career position - Head, School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Queensland 2012 Award - Fellow, Australian Optical Society 2014 Career position - Member, Editorial Board, Optica 2016 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 2016 Award - Fellow, Australian Institute of Physics 2016 2016 Career position - Co-Chair, 13th Asian Pacific Physics Conference and 22nd Australian Institute of Physics Congress, Brisbane 2017 Career position - Director, International Society for Optics and Photonics 2018 2018 Award - UNSW Eureka Prize for Excellence in Interdisciplinary Scientific Research (awarded to the University of Queensland Optical Physics in Neurosciences team) 2018 2018 Award - Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for distinguished service to laser physics and nano-optics as a researcher, mentor and academic, to the promotion of educational programs, and to women in science 2018 2018 Award - W.
