Professor Igor Bray - Director
Professor Bray is a world-leader in the field of atomic collision theory, an excellent science communicator and a big-picture thinker, a combination of skills that has made him a great advocate and prominent speaker for science and science policy at local, national and international levels.
His clear way of expressing his views, even about very specialised and complex topics, has enabled him to engage the broader community – including school students – in important discussions about the role of science and science education in Australia’s future.
