Today, we bade a sad farewell to Bill Hamilton and Mohana Yethiraj, who are returning to the USA after four years at the Institute.
Bill has led the charge in performing difficult small-angle scattering and reflectometry experiments on QUOKKA (for which he has shared responsibility) and PLATYPUS, while Mohana has led us into the field of superconducting flux-line lattices using a new 11-T horizontal-field magnet on QUOKKA, in addition to getting our TAIPAN thermal 3-Axis Spectrometer ready for user operations, including the first scientific results.
We wish both Bill and Mohana well.
In response, our small-angle-scattering team has already been strengthened with Chris Garvey joining the team operating QUOKKA, and we are currently in the process of interviewing for a replacement on TAIPAN.
