Former Telstra boss, Dr Ziggy Switkowski was officially appointed to the ANSTO Board by the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 2006 for a period of five years.
Dr Switkowski brings a wealth of business and technology development experience to the ANSTO Board, the governing body of Australia’s national nuclear research and development. ANSTO is responsible for delivering specialised advice, scientific services and products to government, industry, academia and other research organisations. In addition, 70 per cent of all radioisotopes used in Australian nuclear medicine are made in ANSTO’s nuclear research reactor.
Dr Switkowski, who has a PhD in nuclear physics and studied at ANSTO as a graduate student, will attend his first Board meeting in February.
