Professor Flambaum produced important results in the area of violation of fundamental symmetries. With his co-workers, these results included the prediction of a 10"6 fold enhancement of parity violation in neutronnucleus reactions which opened a new area of research; the first calculation of the nuclear anapole moment and the suggestion of atomic experiments which lead to measurement of this moment in 1997. Also provided were the most accurate calculations of parity violation in atoms. His Australian works include predictions of collective effects of time invariance violation in nuclei, quantum chaos in complex atoms, and a new statistical theory of finite Fermi systems based on the properties of chaotic eigenstates.
