Maxim Avdeev joined us today, from Jim Jorgensen's group at Argonne National Laboratory, to take responsibility for the Medium-Resolution Powder Diffractometer at HIFAR and our powder-diffraction software infrastructure, including our Rietveld program RIETICA.
Earlier in his career, Maxim worked at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia.
Also today, Kia Wallwork, who has been an ASRP-funded postdoc with the Bragg Institute for the last 2 years, moved on to take up an instrument scientist position with the Australian Synchrotron Project in Melbourne, as instrument scientist for its powder-diffraction beamline.
The second of the area detectors for the new instruments at the OPAL reactor arrived today, for the PLATYPUS reflectometer.
