Nalini Joshi, President of the Australian Mathematical Society

Congratulations to our Head of School, Professor Nalini Joshi, who has just been inaugurated as President of the Australian Mathematical Society at its Annual General Meeting (held jointly with the New Zealand Mathematical Society), held recently at the University of Canterbury.

Nalini will serve a two-year term as President and says "I would like to entice more younger mathematicians to join the Society - especially those who join banks, government organisations or companies where they continue to do mathematics and modelling that is so essential to our economy, security and well-being."

The following are links to the main webpage of the Australian Mathematical Society and a webpage explaining the benefits of membership:
