Research Grant

Researchers Prof AB Rozenfeld; Prof AS Dzurak; Prof DN Jamieson; Dr ML Lerch; Dr S Guatelli; Dr Z Kuncic; Prof M Zaider; Dr MI Reinhard

Brief description This project will produce improved radiation detectors and advanced computational techniques, addressing needs in the prediction and assessment of the effects of radiation in homeland security, medicine, aviation and space applications. The 'preventative healthcare' priority goal of the National Research priority 'Promoting and maintaining good health' will be addressed, serving to reduce the risk to people involved in such activities. This fundamental research will also enhance Australia's international reputation in this field, stimulate local expertise and create a critical mass of researchers working in this sector.
