Biography

Chris Vale is Professor of Physics and Director of the Quantum Technologies Future Science Platform at CSIRO. Prior to joining CSIRO he led an experimental research program at Swinburne University of Technology using gases of atoms cooled to nanoKelvin temperatures to study properties and dynamics of many-body quantum systems. Prof Vale has been a Chief Investigator in two ARC Centres of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET) and Quantum Atom Optics (ACQAO), has held an ARC Future Fellowship and several ARC Discovery and Linkage Infrastructure and Equipment projects. He undertook postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Queensland, the University of Sussex and Imperial College (UK) studying Bose-Einstein condensates on atom chips and their potential for quantum sensing. He has been actively engaged in the promotion of physics and quantum science through FLEET, the Australian Institute of Physics, conference organisation and public outreach.
