Cheryl began her career at the University of Western Australia in 1976, and has recently retired after 40 years of service.
To celebrate her amazing and influential career, there will be a mini-symposium hosted by the University of Western Australia

- Cai Heng Li (Southern University of Science and Technology China)

- Alice Niemeyer (RWTH Aachen University)
- Jacqui Ramagge (University of Sydney)
This event has been generously supported by the Faculty of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (UWA). All of the talks will take place in the Case Study Room, The University Club.
