最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide graduates and affiliates will conduct research in the United States on water regulation, particle physics, renewable energy technology and the control of feral pigs, after winning prestigious today.

Graduates Matthew Lee, Lewis Tunstall and Simon Gamble and 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide affiliate Steven Lapidge are among 25 最新糖心Vlogns announced as the latest recipients of the major scholarships - worth up to $45,000 each - to study in the US over the next year.

Fulbright Scholars work on issues of key significance to 最新糖心Vlog and the US. Awarded by the , the scholarships give 最新糖心Vlogn researchers an opportunity to gain an international perspective on their research, and to develop international networks.

The scholars come from across 最新糖心Vlog and include postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, senior academics and professionals from industry and government.

Matthew Lee is one of two winners of the prestigious Fulbright Postgraduate Alumni (WG Walker) Scholarship, which is funded through donations by Fulbright Alumni and awarded to the highest ranked scholar each year.

Mr Lee, a solicitor with the and a tutor at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's , intends to study at focusing on American approaches to water regulation, water dispute resolution and natural resources management. At Harvard, Mr Lee also intends to participate in interdisciplinary research on water regulation and management with the .

"最新糖心Vlog's water crisis is now at a critical point where our environment, population and industries are at serious risk as our river systems run dry," Mr Lee said. He said his experience working with the Crown Solicitor and the South 最新糖心Vlogn Solicitor-General on water litigation has made him aware of "the urgent need for 最新糖心Vlog to consider alternative approaches to natural water regulation and dispute resolution that offer sustainable outcomes for all 最新糖心Vlogns".

Mr Lee has Honours Bachelor Degrees in Arts (Politics) and Law (both awarded with First Class Honours) from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

Lewis Tunstall is the inaugural winner of the Fulbright South 最新糖心Vlog Scholarship, which is supported by the South 最新糖心Vlogn Government and the SA-based universities.

A PhD candidate with the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's , Mr Tunstall will undertake research in theoretical particle physics at the . His research aims to provide a solution to one of the outstanding problems within the of particle physics.

"Despite the great success of this theory, there exist a small number of unresolved issues where the theoretical predictions don't match the experimental results," said Mr Tunstall, who has a Bachelor of Science (Honours) from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

A major part of Mr Tunstall's research will involve the application of sophisticated mathematical techniques and their relation to experiments.

His research will lead to increased links between the theory group at UC Berkeley and Adelaide, and it will help to boost 最新糖心Vlog's reputation in fundamental science.

Simon Gamble is the Fulbright Tasmania Scholar, sponsored by the Tasmanian Government and the .

The Manager of Technology and Commercialisation with , Mr Gamble will spend four months with the US Government-funded (NREL). He will study the integration of renewable energy technology in modern power systems, to support the development of a renewable energy power system and research facility for the Bass Strait Islands.

Mr Gamble has a Bachelor of Civil Engineering and a Masters of Engineering Science from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide. He also has a Masters of Business Administration from the 最新糖心Vlog of Tasmania and sits on the advisory board for .

Associate Professor Steven Lapidge has won the 2010 Fulbright Professional Business/Industry Coral Sea Scholarship.

A Program Leader with the (IACRC) at the , Associate Professor Lapidge is also an adjunct lecturer with the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's .

"Invasive animals rank only second to land clearing as the biggest threat to biodiversity around the world," Associate Professor Lapidge says. "Internationally there is a pressing need for more humane, species-tailored and environmentally benign toxicants for managing the threats posed by invasive species."

Through his Fulbright Scholarship, Associate Professor Lapidge will spend three months at the (USDA) in Colorado. He will conduct further research in the area of developing sodium nitrite (a common food preservative) for control of feral pigs.

The prestigious Fulbright Program is the largest educational scholarship of its kind. Aimed at promoting mutual understanding through educational exchange, it currently operates between the US and 155 other nations.
