Really Bright Science: Honours and Postgraduate projects using synchrotron sources -- Clayton

Published: 20 August 2008

Have you ever wondered what a synchrotron is used for? Have you ever considered doing postgraduate studies? This information session for undergraduate students will attempt to answer your questions about how you might use the Australian Synchrotron (immediately adjacent to Monash's Clayton campus) as part of your honours, Masters or PhD project.

The uses of a synchrotron are many and broad, including drug design, X-ray imaging, radiotherapy, nanotechnology and making micro-machines. Research fields include life sciences, physical sciences, advanced materials development and engineering.

The MCSS provides supporting scholarships for students undertaking projects incorporating a significant component of synchrotron use. Come to this information session to hear what leading Monash researchers are currently using synchrotron for, and the honours and postgraduate projects on offer in 2009, as well as how to apply for scholarships. Following the seminar meet supervisors and find out more about individual projects at our BBQ lunch.
