Congratulations to the AMIO member, Dr Julian Steele who has received an ARC Discovery Project award entitled “Photophysical Pathways in Next-Generation X-ray Detectors”.
The sensitive detection of X-rays embodies an important research area, being motivated by a common desire to minimise the radiation doses required for detection. Inspired by the emergence of novel solution-processed high-Z semiconductors, this project aims to develop a complimentary in-house testing platform to uncover and characterise next-generation X-ray sensitive materials. By combining innovative measurement capabilities with rigorous evaluation criteria, we’re fast-tracking the technological readiness of these materials and ensuring their compatibility with real-world industrial applications. Through strong national and international collaborations with leading X-ray science partners, we’re not just testing technology — we’re validating their commercial future, establishing AMIO as a leader in the next generation of X-ray detector innovation.
