Plenary Speakers
Dudley Creagh has been Professor and Director of Cultural Heritage Studies at the University of Canberra for almost a decade. He has served on the staff of the Australian Defence Force Academy, the Royal Military College Duntroon, and the University of New England. Dudley is an expert on X-ray scattering. The results of his research are to be found in International Tables for Crystallography in compilations on X-ray Absorption and Dispersion Corrections. As well, he has designed advanced scientific equipment including: X-ray topography systems; an X-ray beamline at a synchrotron radiation source (the Australian National Beamline, BL20B, at the Photon Factory, Tsukuba, Japan) and much of its ancillary equipment; a liquid-air interface reflectometer for the Research School of Chemistry (ANU); and the Infrared Beamline for the Australian Synchrotron.
Robert
Dinnibier is Adjunct Professor at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry,
University of Stuttgart and Hon. Professor at the Department of Geosciences,
University of Tübingen. He also group leader of the scientific service group
diffraction at the Max-Planck-Institute for Solid State Research at Stuttgart.
From 2001 – 2007 he was Privat-Dozent for crystallography at the institute for
geo- and bio-sciences of the university of Stuttgart and previously Associate
professor (C2) at university of Bayreuth (non-tenior track). He gained a
Habilitation and venia legendi (Privatdozent) in Crystallography in 2000.
John serves on various scientific panels at Diamond and ISIS. He has also served on the PCG committee, has served on BCA council, and co-organises the bi-annual PCG Rietveld refinment school.
Dr Richard Garrett is the Facility Director for the
Australian Synchrotron Research Program, and is responsible for the ongoing
operation and continuing development of the Australian Government program that
enables Australian researchers to access overseas synchrotron facilities.
A/Prof Damian Gore is a geomorphologist with research interests in environmental health and management (particularly contaminants), the history of the earth over the last few million years, and rivers. He has worked from the Arctic to Antarctica. At Macquarie University he teaches Environmental Science, emphasising cross-disciplinary research to find solutions to applied problems. See www.es.mq.edu.au/physgeog/staff/dg/index.htm for further details.
Koen Janssens studied Chemistry at the University of Antwerp and since 2000 is Professor of Analytical Chemistry at this institution. His research is centered around the use of non-destructive micro- and nano beam methods of analysis, mostly with intense X-ray beams. Thus, he devoted a substantial amount of his time at the synchrotron radiation facilities of Grenoble and Hamburg, resp. in France and Germany.
Dr. Rogge is a Senior Research Officer of the National Research Council, Canada. He obtained B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in physics from Brock University, the alumni association of which honoured Dr. Rogge as one of the Thirty from the Past Thirty. His Ph.D. studies at McMaster University marked his entrance into neutron scattering, where he employed elastic, quasi-elastic, and inelastic techniques to study solids state phase transformations. Then in 1993 he joined the neutron scattering program at Chalk River where he became involved in industrial applications of neutron scattering learning from pioneers in the field, Drs. T.M. Holden and J.H. Root. Dr. Rogge is now the Canadian Neutron Beam Centre senior staff member responsible for the materials science and engineering program and the Applied Neutron Diffraction for Industry program-a fee-for-service activity for which Dr. Rogge has written over 75 protected reports. He also leads efforts in instrument and technique development, the most notable recent development is atomic resolution holography using thermal neutrons.
Tim White has been engaged in the design and demonstration of advanced materials for environmental, superconducting, ionic conductivity and catalytic applications for more than 25 years. His particular interests lie in tailoring ceramics at the atomic scale to develop or enhance particular properties. These studies have been supported and facilitated through the use of advanced characterization methods, including atomic resolution electron microscopy, crystal refinement using X-ray and neutron diffraction, and synchrotron-based surface analysis for the investigation of chemical states and molecular environments. He is author or co-author of over 150 publications, 5 conference proceedings, 3 patents and numerous confidential reports to industry.
Currently
Division Head in the School of Materials Science and Engineering and Director of
the Facility for Advanced Characterisation, Testing & Simulation (FACTS), he
was until recently secretary of the Materials Research Society of Singapore.
His PhD from the Australian National University was taken in mineral chemistry
and crystallography. Since then, he has held various posts at the Institute of
Environmental Science and Engineering (Singapore), The University of South
Australia (Adelaide), University of Queensland (Brisbane), The University of
Melbourne, and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (Sydney).Secondments
have included the Institute for Transuranium Elements (Germany), Japan Atomic
Energy Research Institute and The University of New Mexico (US). His research
awards include the Cowley-Moodie Award for Electron Microscopy and a Senior
Fulbright Fellowship, and an Asia-Australia Fellowship. |
