Specialist Areas

AINSE Specialist Committees

AINSE specialist committees provide provide for a stronger focus on disciplines. 

Archaeology and Geosciences Committee

Applications in this area would be seeking to advance knowledge in any of the branches of archaeology or geosciences. Applications may be made for AMS studies or PIXE/PIGE characterisation of materials to support the aims of the project.

Professor Patrick De Deckker - Convenor Australian National University
Dr Sean Ulm University of Queensland
Dr Jamie Shulmeister University of Canterbury
Dr David Garnett Charles Darwin University
Dr David Fink ANSTO
Dr Quan Hua

Biomedical Science and Biotechnology Committee

Research into diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine, radiobiology, experimental radiation oncology, and radiation effects on biological materials.

Dr Michael Hay - Convenor (C) University of Auckland
Professor Michael Davies University of Sydney
A/Professor Michael Kassiou University of Sydney
A/Professor Laurence Gahan University of Queensland
Dr Andrew Katsifis
Dr Ron Weiner

Environmental Sciences Committee

Applications in this area would be seeking to understand problems based in environmental science. This would include dating using 210Pb, and 14C, and the analysis of natural processes, and experiments on organic or inorganic materials, or the biota.

Professor Erick Bestland Flinders University
Professor David Bowman University of Tasmania
Dr Scott Nichol Geoscience Australia
Professor Greg Skilbeck (C) University of Technology Sydney
Dr Suzanne Hollins ANSTO
Dr Andrew Smith ANSTO

 

Materials - Structures and Dynamics Committee

Applications in this area will involve the study of the structure of materials at an atomic or molecular level involving instruments including x-ray scattering and reflectometry, electron microscopy and NMR.

Dr Chris Ling - Convenor University of Sydney / ANSTO
Professor Anton Middelberg University of Queensland
Professor Jill Trewhella University of Sydney
Professor Valerie Linton University of Adelaide
Professor John White (C) Australian National University
Dr Michael James ANSTO

 

Materials - Properties and Engineering Committee

Applications in this area will typically involve the study of the properties and composition of engineering and inorganic materials; surface modification, surface characterisation and surface properties; advanced materials processing; specialist techniques in materials characterisation; materials testing, bulk and local materials properties; effects of radiation on materials.

Dr Michael Brunger (C) Flinders University
Dr Rachael Caruso University of Melbourne
Professor Andrejs Atrens University of Queensland
Dr David Cohen ANSTO
Dr Kathryn Prince ANSTO
Professor Lyndon Edwards ANSTO

 

Nuclear Technology Specialist Committee

Research into areas related to nuclear technology including fuel development, reactor performance, nuclear materials science and engineering, and waste.

Professor Peter Johnston RMIT University
Professor Lyndon Edwards ANSTO
Dr George Collins ANSTO

 

Plasma Science

This group is primarily interested in conducting research at the National Plasma Fusion Facility H-1NF at ANU and in promoting Australian involvement in ITER the newest and largest plasma fusion experiment.
