Internationally renowned leader in radiopharmaceutical sciences, in particular, for the research and development of new tracers, radiochemical methods and automation strategies. Activities are focused on the use of cyclotron produced nuclides, but extend also to reactor and generator produced ones, as well as on-demand synthetic chemistry.

My research contributions are in processing-structure-property relationships of structural metallic materials for high performance applications, with key interests in aerospace. Currently, these materials include Ni-based superalloys, advanced steels, Ti-alloys, and refractory metals processed by conventional thermo-mechanical routes or 3D printing. I combine state-of-the-art experimental techniques such as electron microscopy, atom probe tomography and thermal analysis with mechanical testing and contemporary modelling approaches. My research philosophy is to achieve a balance between fundamental discovery and industrial application. I am excited about developing the next generation of structural metallic materials in collaboration with industrial partners.I am an editor of Journal of Materials Science, current vice chair of the TMS Phase Transformations Committee, and active member of other professional organisations such as Materials Australia.Check out 'Engineering Microstructures' (group website) and '3D Additive' for more information on my research:http://www.engineeringmicrostructures.comhttps://www.3dadditive.com.au

My key areas of expertise lies within Astronomy and Astrophysics. Particularly, stars, planets, and the Milky Way.I use asteroseismology -- the ringing inside stars from star quakes -- to infer the physical properties of stars, such as their size, mass, and age.To measure the signature of this `music of the stars' I work closely with NASA to obtain data using the Kepler, K2, and TESS space telescopes; they measure tiny brightness variations of stars that reveal the frequencies of the stellar ringing.My group is pioneering the use of Artificial Intelligence, such as Deep Learning image recognition, to analyse large amount of asteroseismic data we receive from NASA.To get in touch, please use: d.stello -add- unsw.edu.au

Associate Professor Sylvia Gustin, Head, Pain Imaging Laboratory & Director, Pain Research, Education & Management (PREM) Program at UNSW, is a senior psychologist and neuroscientist with expertise in health psychology, chronic pain, mental health, spinal cord injury, psychophysiology and brain imaging. For the past 20 years Associate Professor Sylvia Gustin has been using brain imaging techniques and psychological assessment to investigate the central and psychological circuits underlying chronic pain and mental health in humans. She has experience in the use of many brain imaging techniques such as magnetoencephalography and functional, structural and biochemical magnetic resonance imaging. She has practised as a psychologist focusing on the management of chronic pain. Her aim is to increase our understanding of the development and maintenance of chronic pain, in particular psychological and central components and their association with each other. Her research is funded by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), the Rebecca L. Cooper Medical Research Foundation, the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), the US Department of Defence, the NSW Defence Innovation Network and the NSW Office for Science and Medical Research (OSMR).
