The Royal Society of New South Wales Southern Highlands

Lecture by

Max La Galle - introduction by Prof Ken McCracken AO

In 2019 Max attended the National Youth Science Forum and was then selected to represent Australia at the London International Youth Science Forum where he visited both the Joint European Torus and CERN. Max's primary interest is in fusion as a power source: the challenges, the promise - and the problems. Max has been accepted to study materials science and chemical engineering at UNSW. Max will be introduced by Prof Ken McCracken AO. Ken is well-known to our Southern Highlands audiences, having given many lectures over the years. He was recently awarded the COSPAR Space Science Award for “outstanding contributions to space science”, and a Minor Planet (8258) has been named “McCracken” in his honour.
