Frank Klose, one of our leading researchers, is taking a sabbatical at City University of Hong Kong, between now and mid-June 2014.
He will be teaching in the Physics Department there, in addition to growing new research links between ANSTO and all of the leading research universities in Hong Kong. This is in the context of Prof. Xun-Li Wang's recent arrival at the university from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the construction of a powerful new accelerator-driven spallation neutron source, the China Spallation Neutron Source, just across the border in Dongguan, China.
Frank is a leading exponent of the use of polarised neutrons for studies in thin-film and multilayer magnetism, is an instrument scientists for our PLATYPUS neutron reflectometer, and has for the last four years led the Neutron Beam Expansion Project, to install a new split guide and three new instruments (DINGO,BILBY and EMU) at OPAL, along with a suite of new advanced sample-environment apparatus.
