ATI 20th Celebration

Thank you all for your participation and contributions for the ATI 20th Anniversary Celebrations on Friday and the past week. This concluded a week of presentation of impactful research to society begun with RAISIN, the IBC Workshop and Steering Board, International Thin Film Conference (ITC2022) and the Anniversary celebration. The day exemplified the quality and excellence in the research conducted by the whole team and impact it had on the wider world community. With over 200 participants in the activities, many our own graduates returning to support our celebration it was an eventful evening, with celebrations going well past the 7pm closing hour.

It goes without saying that the presentations of students, postdoctoral researchers and staff were absolutely to the point, much as the poster presentations, laboratory tours and demonstrations conducted by all. Those who spoke about your activities to all visitors were praised for the enthusiasm and dedication. I thank all of you on behalf of the ATI, School, Faculty and University for the effort put in on Friday and the last 20 years. The showcasing of the research was highlighted by the externals too as world leading, and a pleasure to do business.

Thank you to all participants, people behind the scenes who supported the setting up of the weeklong activities and all our speakers internal and external who made this a truly memorable occasion.

Professor Ravi Silva

Director of the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI)
