Dr Frank Klose
Staff Profile
Role at ANSTO
Frank is leading the neutron beam instruments and major capital projects group at the Bragg Institute. This group of ~40 scientists, engineers, technicians and administrative staff is responsible for delivering seven new neutron instruments and several other major instrumentation projects over the coming years with a budget of $60 M.
Before joining the Bragg Institute / ANSTO in 2007, Frank spent most of his career as senior scientist in major US research facilities (Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories). He is now a professorial fellow of the University of New South Wales, Sydney and his science group is working on novel spintronic materials.
