Professor Filar wins 2007 SA Science Excellence Award
Professor Jerzy Filar won the award for Science Leadership and Management Excellence at the 2007 South Australian Science Excellence Awards.
"The UniSA Foundation Chair of Mathematics and Statistics, Prof Filar is
a highly regarded mathematician who has played a leading role in practical
research projects that achieve mathematical solutions for sponsors and
industry partners. These have included uncertainty analysis of integrated
models of enhanced greenhouse effect, modelling the risk of accidents at
level crossings and analysis of Australian sea-level data. He also led a
drive to encourage more female participation in maths, establishing UniSA’s
Hypatia
Scholarships for Mathematically Gifted Women. In the 10 years since its
foundation 11 recipients have continued on to undertake PhD studies in
mathematics."
