Read MoreDr Lindsey Bignell is an experimental particle physicist working on dark matter direct detection at the ANU node. He is involved with the CYGNUS and SABRE collaborations, and is interested in precision measurements and translational research.
Read MoreDr Michaela Froehlich has a PhD in chemistry and significant experience in radiochemistry. She worked ever since in a multidisciplinary field and specialised on chemical isolation of rare isotopes from environmental matrices measured by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry.
Read MoreNathan Spinks is a PhD student at the Australian National University (ANU) under the supervision of Dr Lindsey Bignell. Nathan is involved in SABRE South’s dark matter direct detection experiment with the focus of his research on developing computational methods to improve SABRE’s sensitivity to WIMPs through particle identification.
Read MoreDr Zuzana Slavkovska’s area of research is in SABRE experimental backgrounds: simulations and measurements of the cosmogenic radiobackgrounds in NaI(Tl), measurements of the intrinsic backgrounds in the crystal powder, and veto liquid scintillator characterization and background measurements.
Read MoreLachlan McKie’s area of research is experimental physics and direct detection. Development of prototype gaseous time projection chambers for the directional dark matter search. Currently conducting experimental work at the ANU with the CYGNUS collaboration investigating detector target gases with the aim to produce a large scale directional dark matter detector.
