This paper was a delight to write, with two young scientists (Jamie Heredge and Jay Archer) undertaking an incredible amount of work to generate muon events passing through a model-plastic scintillator and demonstrating that AI can recover the potential intersection of that event better than an analytic model.

Another amazing electronics paper from my PhD student Shanti Krishnan accepted for publication in the Journal of Instrumentation, focussed on a novel (and very cheap!) way to improve SiPM sensors.

The first paper by PhD student Shanti Krishnan who I co-supervise with Prof Geoff Brooks, and it’s fair to say that she has blown us all away with the level of work (and quite frankly technical brilliance) in this paper in the Journal of Instrumentation.
Shanti has designed a novel solution to detecting muons with a low-cost silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) that offers a robust, miniaturized, and cost-effective, cosmic ray detector. Pretty amazing first publication!

Great news with the announcement that my Australian Research Council projects were funded! Huge congratulations to Dr Greg Lane of ANU and Dr Phil Urquijo of UMelb who led them (and I'll explain the science we hope to achieve with them in a bit) but while I'm delighted by my ARC funding outcomes I know that so many (too many!) of my colleagues haven't been so fortunate.
