Dr Jamie Schulz
Staff Profile
Role at ANSTO
Dr Jamie Schulz is the Operations Manager for the Bragg Institute. As the Operations Manager he is responsible for all aspects of neutron-beam operations from safety to customer support as well as instrument operation and maintenance. Additionally he also serves on the Reactor Operations safety committee as the primary interface between Reactor Operations and the Bragg Institute.
His fields of expertise include SANS studies of complex fluids at rest and under shear flow, neutron reflectometry studies of surfactant adsorption and adsolubilisation at the solid/liquid interface.
Dr Schulz originally hails from a background in soft condensed-matter physics. He obtained his BSc from Flinders University in South Australia and PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Sydney in 2000. After completing his PhD, he joined the Small-Angle Scattering Group at the NIST Centre for Neutron Research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology where he provided scientific and technical assistance to users of the small-angle scattering instruments.
