Helen Maynard-Casely

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Powder Diffraction Beamline at Australian Synchrotron

Summary

My undergraduate studies were in Planetary Science, which sparked my interest in planetary interiors, leading me to studying high-pressure physics. I've since completed a industrial post-doc on energetic materials before moving to the Australian Synchrotron to build my research in planetary science again.
