Access to ISIS

AINSE will now support travel for researchers to attend ISIS, on the same basis that AMRF program allocated funding (one trip per individual per 6 months). ANSTO research scientists would also receive the same level of support as university researchers. This arrangement to be in place at least up to the completion of the current LEIF Grant for access to ISIS. Please contact Jorden Lickiss 9717 3376 for more details.

New AINSE Managing Director - Frank Bruhn

The AINSE Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Frank Bruhn as new Managing Director of AINSE Ltd.

Frank is currently the Director of GNS Science's National Isotope Centre, New Zealand's premier source of applied isotope science capability.

He is a geochemist, specialising in the use of isotopes as tracers in biogeochemical cycles. Frank did his MSc and PhD in Bochum, Germany, supervised by Professor Ján Veizer. In 1997, he moved with his family to Sydney to work on a two-year PostDoc, jointly funded by the German Science Foundation and the CSIRO. Before joining GNS Science in 2002, he was the leader of a radiocarbon preparation laboratory at the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility in Kiel, Germany.

Frank has been AINSE councillor for GNS Science since 2005. He has extensive governance and international science policy experience, being a Board Director of the New Zealand MacDiarmid Institute of Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology and New Zealand’s Representative in the IAEA Regional Cooperative Agreement for Asia & Pacific, and having served as co-ordinator of the bilateral Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement between New Zealand and Germany.

Over the past decade, AINSE has achieved a general and steady rise in benefits for a growing membership base. It has also increased the quality and quantity of research outputs. The next stage of AINSE’s life will involve further development of funding, research and scientific collaboration in order to achieve more and higher quality research which will benefit all of us." Frank says, "I look forward to playing a role in shaping the future of AINSE during these exciting times not just for AINSE but for the wider Australasian science community.

Frank will take up his new position in May 2012.
