[…] A big welcome, too, to our new president Jim Piper. Jim is an emeritus professor of Macquarie University and the director of the Macquarie node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics. Jim retired in 2013 after 10 years as Deputy-Vice-Chancellor (Research) of Macquarie University. The following year he became a member (AM) in the general division “for significant service to tertiary education, particularly through research in applied laser physics”.

I was honoured to have your reside at my bachelor degree graduation ceremony a couple of years ago – only to find out my mother worked on a research project with you in the 1980s! Thank you for being the professor that both my mother, Bidar, and I will always look up to.

Dear Professor Piper, It is with fond memories that I remember your kindhearted teaching style back in the 1970′s. Then, as a B.Sc. Dip Ed student, you may remember teaching me Thermodynamics in 1978 along with Cathy Foley (as Dr Piper at that time). Later in 1979, whilst studying Properties of Solids, I recall the thrill of the X-Ray diffraction experiment which required us to have you place the apparatus in the X-Ray chamber for exposure on film overnight for later analysis. I always enjoyed your clear explanations of phenomena which I believe had a positive impact on my own teaching style and career as a Physics Teacher. I would like to offer you and your family all the very best for your future in retirement. God Bless and Thanks from Jeff Hunter.

As a student of Prof Piper in the laser physics lab between 1977 and 1979, I recall he had a profound influence on us all when it came to research methods and quality, even though we had a very little budget at the time. Thank you Jim.

Congratulations Jim, on a truly remarkable career both as a distinguished scientist and as a fundamental contributor to the academic development of Macquarie. We have been extraordinarily fortunate to have someone as selflessly committed as you to our university. I wish you well in what I am certain will continue to be a very productive future.
