Excellence Awards (2004-2013)
Welcome to the Awards for Excellence web page, hosted by Swinburne Astronomy Online. SAO is run by the Centre for Astrophysics & Supercomputing, which is a part of the Faculty of Science, Computing, Engineering and Technology.
Each year student excellence in its programs is announced and this page celebrates top students in each of the three SAO degree programs. The Awards for Excellence began in 2004.
These awards are made possible by the generous support of our current sponsor, Australian Sky and Telescope and former sponsors (Sky & Space Magazines, Cambridge University Press, Palgrave Macmillan publishing).
