Today, Dr Daniel Hsu arrived at ANSTO as the first of three new instrument scientists at ANSTO, funded for the operational phase of the National Science Council of Taiwan's investment at the OPAL Reactor.
Daniel joins the team of scientists serving users, doing research and operating our PLATYPUS Neutron Reflectometer.
In the coming months, additional Taiwan-funded scientists will arrive to join our teams on the QUOKKA small-angle neutron scattering instrument, and in powder diffraction on ECHIDNA and WOMBAT.
Dr. Charlie Wu, who has overseen the construction of the SIKA cold-neutron 3-axis spectrometer, and which is expected to take its first users in 2012, will also continue for its operational phase next year.
As with the other Taiwan-funded instrument scientists, Daniel will act as local contact both for users coming from universities in Taiwan, and also for users from Australia and elsewhere who come in through our user portal.
