Background
Dr Rob Robinson received a PhD in experimental physics from Cambridge University in 1982. He then moved to Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States to carry out postdoctoral research, and was a staff member there between 1985 and 1999. He has also spent time as a visiting scientist at the Institut Laue-Langevin (1984), the Japanese National Laboratory for High-Energy Physics (1992), and the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (1994). He has been a fellow of the American Physical Society since 1998. In late 1999 he moved to ANSTO to become leader of the Neutron Scattering and Synchrotron Radiation Group.
Research Interests
Rob's main research activities have been in condensed-matter physics. His current research interests include strongly correlated f-electron systems, magnetism in uranium intermetallics, molecular magnets, the dynamics of amorphous materials and neutron-scattering instrumentation.
