Dr Steven Pas, an ARC APD Fellow in the Department of Materials Engineering, working with ACES and CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering was awarded a prestigious Victoria Fellowship at Government House on the 13th August 2008.
The fellowship provides Steven with funds to further his research in areas relating to biomedical imaging using positrons. It recognises both the high quality of his research to date, and the innovative and strategic nature of his proposal. His proposal titled, “New imaging modality based on the measurement of position annihilation processes with position sensitivity” deals with the synergy between the laboratory techniques that detect subtle changes in the nanostructure of materials and the clinical techniques used to image tissue as it transitions from the healthy to the diseased state.
