In June 2022 Miles was appointed to a new role of Group Executive Nuclear Safety, Security and Stewardship with responsibility for all nuclear safety and security operations at ANSTO as well as coordination of al
Research investigates low activation and low cost superconducting material for magnetic coils in next generation fusion reactors
Helium 3 Polariser
This state-of-the-art metastable-exchange optical-pumping helium-3 polarising system enables polarisation-analysis experiments on five of our existing instruments.
Nuclear techniques confirm rare finding that crocodile devoured a baby dinosaur
Research confirms that ancient Tasmania was not a ‘wilderness’ but an Indigenous cultural landscape
Recent studies led by the University of Melbourne have revealed that the Palawa people’s ancient land stewardship techniques have profoundly shaped the landscape of western Lutruwita, within the traditional territories located in Tasmania.

Lake sediments as environmental archives used in compilation of data.
Nanoscale insights to improve organic solar cell thin films
A large international team has provided an understanding of how nanoscale interactions affect the thermal stability of a type of next generation organic solar cells.
Novel research gives more clues about minerals under pressure within earth or other planets
A study has provided insight into copper sulfate pentahydrate and could give clues to how other hydrated minerals change under the pressures within planetary environments
Research Leader, Atmospheric Research Group
Role at ANSTO
Distinguished researchers who use synchrotron techniques recognised
Instrument Scientist (The triple-axis spectrometers Sika and Taipan)
Role at ANSTO
Nanoprobe beamline (NANO) - under construction
The BRIGHT Nanoprobe beamline provides a unique facility capable of spectroscopic and full-field imaging. NANO will undertake high-resolution elemental mapping and ptychographic coherent diffraction imaging. Elemental mapping and XANES studies (after DCM upgrade) will be possible at sub-100 nm resolution, with structural features able to be studied down to 15 nm using ptychography.
Tuning thermomechanical properties
Wombat used in study that showed tuneable thermal expansion by controlled gas sorption.
The evolution of molten salt reactors
Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear reactors that use a fluid fuel in the form of very hot fluoride or chloride salt rather than the solid fuel used in most reactors. Since the fuel salt is liquid, it can be both the fuel to produce heat and the coolant to transport the heat to a power plant.
Nuclear techniques confirm unique biology of human eye lens
Water experts share insights into unique environment of Thirlmere Lakes
ANSTO has produced a comprehensive report for the NSW Department of Planning and Environment that represents a significant scientific investigation of the connections, pathways and processes of water loss from the Thirlmere Lakes system.
