Role at ANSTO
Transistors and NASA's radiation paradox: strength in detection, weakness in space operations
The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.
Explaining glaciers of solid methane and nitrogen on Pluto
Research reports for the first time how solid methane and nitrogen expand in response to temperature changes and resolves an historic ambiguity relating to the structure of nitrogen.

Funding
Funding for the reconstructing of Australia’s fire history.

Reducing cadmium in cocoa
New international limits on the cadmium content of cacao products have spurred research to discover how cadmium accumulates in cacao beans, and the effects of processing.
