David Luchetti PSM
David Luchetti, who works in the Federal Government's Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources, was awarded the Public Service Medal in last week's Australia Day Honours for "outstanding public service to science and industry policy in Australia, particularly in the Square Kilometre Array project". The award comes on top of selection last year as an Honorary Member of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for his tireless work championing and facilitating Australian astronomy in the government. The Public Service Medal recognises outstanding service by employees of the Australian Government and state, territory and local government employees. "Mr Luchetti has worked tirelessly with the astronomy community for many years. His endeavours in supporting Australia on the international scientific stage have been first class and have been well beyond normal duties," said the Chair of the Academy’s National Committee for Astronomy, Professor Lister Staveley-Smith.
