James A. Piper
James A. (Jim) Piper (1 January 1947 - 20 July 2023) was a New Zealand/Australian physicist, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) and Professor of Physics at Macquarie University.
Piper studied physics at the University of Otago, New Zealand, and received a B.Sc. (Hons) in 1968. He completed a Ph.D. in atomic physics, also at Otago, in 1971. His post-doctoral research was on metal-vapour lasers, with Colin Webb at Oxford.
Laser research in Australia
Following his arrival to Macquarie University in the late 1970s, from Oxford, Piper established one of the first laser research centres in Australia. Initially he directed his research toward
gas lasers, continuous wave metal ion lasers, cyclic pulsed metal vapour lasers, and metal ion recombination lasers. He also added a laser development program on high-power tunable dye lasers for various applications including atomic vapor laser isotope separation. In this area of research he is co-author, with Frank Duarte, of a number of papers on tunable laser oscillator physics.
Piper's primary research interests were in solid-state lasers. In particular, diode-pumped solid-state lasers and related thermal engineering, mid-infrared solid state laser materials, solid state Raman lasers, and novel self-frequency-doubling laser materials.

Leonard Tsipa

Leonard Tsipa
Leonard "Aghahowa" Tsipa (born 25 January 1982) is an international Zimbabwean football striker that plays in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League side CAPS United F.C.
Club career
In 2002, together with his CAPS teammate Blessing Makunike, he went to Serbia, to play with FK Javor. They played in the 2002–03 First League of Serbia and Montenegro but the club finished 12th and was consequently relegated to the second league for the following season. After not getting much chances to play, both returned to CAPS United F.C., where they achieved major success by winning, in 2004 and 2005, the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League titles. He played most of his career with CAPS, the exceptions were only his spell in Serbia in 2003, and when he played one season in 2008 with previous year Zimbabwean champions Dynamos F.C. managing to finish that season runners-up, however the goal that season was the CAF Champions League where they reached the record semi-finals in 2008 edition. For the 2011 season he moved to the 2010 Zimbabwean champions Gunners F.C. In 2015, he moved back at Caps United fc and he still in Caps United to date.
Tsipa usually plays as a striker or as a winger.
National team
By May 2011 Leonard Tsipa has played five matches for the Zimbabwean national team and scored one goal.
