Other Interests

Since 2012 I have served as a non-executive director of the Laboratories Credit Union (LCU) and in 2016 served 3 years as board chair. LCU is a small financial institution with approximately $250M in assets and 3000 members. It was formed by CSIRO staff in 1954 and still provides banking services to many CSIRO staff, alumni and families.

I volunteer with the NSW branch of the Australian Institute of Physics. I coordinate industry engagement for the NSW branch, predominantly through the annual Physics in Industry Days. https://www.aip.org.au/PiD/ and zOOm into Physics events https://www.aip.org.au/ZiP
