Michael created and undertook numerous new precision measurement techniques and experiments in the field of time and frequency, and low temperature quantum physics, with the goal of solving some of the biggest questions in fundamental physics. These led to several translational outcomes.

The Massey Medal is a gift of the Institute of Physics (UK) to the AIP. It will be presented at AIP Congress in December by IOP President Elect Michele Dougherty.

The biennial Award recognises outstanding contributions to physics made by an Australian citizen working anywhere in the world, or by an Australian resident for work carried out in Australia.
