Congratulations to our Fellows recognised in the Queen’s Birthday 2022 Honours List for excellence in science, technology, and engineering.

Six Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) Fellows have been named in the 2022 Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

Our Fellows were among 992 Australians to be awarded for their ‘meritorious, distinguished and conspicuous service’.

Out of eight Australians recognised with the Companion (AC) in the General Division of the Order of Australia, three are Fellows of our Academy.

Of the 669 recipients of awards in the General Division of the Order of Australia, 45.9 per cent are women.

ATSE CEO Kylie Walker said, “It is wonderful to see such high level recognition of the contribution and leadership of our Fellows. I congratulate our six Fellows recognised in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours list.”

“I would like to extend special congratulations to our former Vice-President Professor Tanya Monro for her contributions to education and innovation in technology and science, and to our current Chair of Assembly and Chair of the NSW Division Emeritus Professor Anne Green for her service as an educator, researcher and mentor.”

“I know all Fellows will join me in congratulating the six Fellows honoured on Monday.”
