Return to the top . The Bragg Gold Medal for the best PhD thesis by a student from an Australian University was established in 1992 as an initiative of the South Australian Branch, to commemorate Sir Laurence Bragg and his father Sir William Bragg. The medal is awarded annually to the student who is judged to have completed the most outstanding PhD thesis in Physics under the auspices of an Australian University, whose degree has been approved but not necessarily conferred in the previous thirteen months. No candidate can be nominated more than once. The Bragg Award will be presented by AIP President, Prof John Pilbrow, followed by a lecture by the award recipient.
All delegates are welcome to attend.
