Congratulations to our founding principal Tristan O’Hanlon who was awarded the 2024 Rutherford Trophy by the New Zealand Institute of Physics

This trophy is awarded annually for innovation in physics education that enhances New Zealand students’ understanding of physics or participation in physics education, and shows a strong link to the teaching or practice of physics experiments.

NZIP President Prof Richard Easther presented Tristan with the award at an afternoon tea in the University of Auckland’s Department of Physics.
