“It highlights the diversity of science careers at ANSTO.”
ANSTO has supported its production for many years. This issue highlights the work beamline scientist at the Australian Synchrotron, a Minerals processing engineer, and the work of a space radiation specialist.
Dr Rosemark Young, an X-ray chemist, who is featured on the cover, is an instrument scientist on the Macromolecular crystallography beamline. Dr Annmaree Warrender analyses biological superstructures using the BIOSAX beamline. Dr Evan Constable investigates matter at the nanoscale with relevance for medical research, mining and quantum materials. He is an instrument scientist on the new Nanoprobe beamline, currently under construction.
Charlie Stanwix, a process engineer at ANSTO’s Minerals group, works on projects for the mining and critical minerals industry.
Dr Stefania Peracchi, a nuclear physicist at the Centre for Accelerator Science has expertise in investigating the impact of space radiation on electronic components and other technologies.
The Forward to the issue was prepared by Dr Mitra Safavi Naeini, Acting Director, Centre for Accelerator Science, who encouraged students to ‘Be curious, Be collaborative and tackle problems that matter.’
