AINSE Specialist Committees

AINSE specialist committees give a strong focus in the following disciplines by providing ongoing advice on research, evaluation of applications for AINSE awards, and review of progress reports. 

Archaeology and Geosciences Committee

Applications in this area would be expected 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.

Dr Sean Ulm - Convenor	James Cook University
Dr Paul Hesse	Macquarie University
Professor Keith Fifield	The Australian National University
Dr Judith Field	The University of New South Wales
Dr David Fink	ANSTO
Dr Quan Hua	ANSTO

 

 Biomedical Science and Biotechnology Committee

Applications in this area would be expected to support research into diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine, radiobiology, experimental radiation oncology, and radiation effects on biological materials.

Professor Michael Davies - Convenor	The University of Sydney
Professor Michael Kassiou	The University of Sydney
Professor Les Copeland	The University of Sydney
A/Professor Damian Myers	The University of Melbourne
Dr Danielle Meyrick (c)	Murdoch University
Dr Andrew Katsifis	ANSTO
Dr Ivan Greguric	ANSTO

 

Environmental Sciences Committee

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

Professor Peter Gell (c) - Convenor	University of Ballarat
Dr Scott Nichol	Geoscience Australia
Dr Pauline Grierson (c)	University of Western Australia
Dr Stephen Gale	University of Sydney
Dr Dioni Cendon	ANSTO
Dr Rainer Siegele	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. Applications concerning the study of soft condensed matter e.g. proteins and membranes are considered by this committee, as are those concerning hard condensed matter e.g. magnetic materials.

Professor Anton Middelberg - Convenor	The University of Queensland
Professor John White	The Australian National University
Professor Roland De Marco (c)	Curtin University
A/Professor Gary Bryant	RMIT University
Professor Don Kearley	ANSTO
Dr Shane Kennedy	ANSTO

 

Materials - Properties and Engineering Committee

Applications in this area would 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; and effects of radiation on materials.
