Professor of Physics, Michigan State University
My interest in physics started in middle school. I had questions about everything and initially thought I would be an engineer. I did my undergraduate in Engineering in Lisbon but realized theory was my real passion. I moved to England for a PhD in Theoretical Physics.

The ILNP, an Australian Research Council Linkage Project, was the first comprehensive exploration of the civil and family law needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people nationally. Fiona also taught human rights and related subjects to staff of Papua New Guinea’s Department of Justice at JCU. Since 2017 Fiona has been working on place-based collective impact project focused on improving outcomes for children (0-12) in the southern corridor of Cairns.
