Jamie Schulz

Jamie Schulz is the Leader of the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). ACNS uses neutrons from Australia’s multi-purpose research reactor, OPAL, to solve complex research questions and industrial problems for Australian and International users. Neutron scattering techniques allow the structure and dynamics materials to be determined, permitting scientists and industry to understand why materials have the properties they do, and helping tailor new materials, devices and systems. He joined ANSTO in 2002 as an instrument scientist at the HIFAR reactor, transitioned to Operations Manager in 2006 and moved to his current role in 2016. His early career was focused on understanding the behaviour of complex fluids systems in the bulk and at interfaces, throughout his PhD at the University of Sydney/Oak Ridge National Laboratory and postdoc at the NIST Center for Neutron Research. He has taken on additional roles whilst at ANSTO including Manager of the ANSTO Safety & Radiation Protection Division, Secondment to NSW Office of Science & Medical Research as well as Director of the Access to Major Research Facilities Program.
