Role at ANSTO
Justin currently manages ANSTO's cobalt-60 irradiation facility that provides Australia's only precision high-dose irradiation and dosimetry service.
Background
After completing a B Med Phys (Hons) in 1998, Justin worked in radiation metrology maintaining standards in radioactivity and dosimetry as well as in the Radiation Technology group before accepting his current position in 2005.
Research interests and areas of expertise
Justin’s expertise lies in ionising radiation dosimetry from low doses (e.g for adaptive response) through to radiotherapy level and high-dose applications such as microbicidal effectiveness studies.
