As part of the 19th Australian Institute of Physics Congress, ANSTO will provide an insight into the exciting world of nuclear science with a presentation covering areas of research ranging from climate change and medical studies to waste management systems.
ANSTO CEO, Dr Adi Paterson will give Congress delegates a unique look into the important role nuclear science plays in Australia’s future with his presentation “ANSTO and the Future of the Great Traditions in Nuclear Science and Technology.”
Dr Paterson will detail, in particular, how ANSTO has been at the forefront of nuclear research which has seen discoveries in diagnosing diseases, finding new clues to detect climate change and the structural soundness of materials.
He will also have the pleasure of introducing the Director General of CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research), Dr Rolf-Dieter Heuer. ANSTO and partners in Australia are seeking to create a more strategic and sustained set of interactions with CERN. Around 8,000 scientists from across the globe participate in and benefit from CERN’s research projects.
