Meanwhile, at AINST, we are leaders in the global race in quantum computing and energy storage, creating technologies that will revolutionise our world.

"It's terrific to have Dr Spence's achievements acknowledged with this great honour. Under his leadership, and resulting from his strategic commitment to world class education and research, the University is on every measure in a stronger position.

"He has made a remarkable contribution to elevating opportunities for students from all backgrounds to flourish in higher education, as evidenced by his work pioneering the University of Sydney's alternative entry and equity pathways, which have seen unprecedented growth in recent years. The University has also become a more inclusive place under his leadership, particularly through such initiatives as our Indigenous programs, and the alternative pathways program for students experiencing economic and social disadvantage."
