Advanced Material Development (AMD) said world-leading academic Professor Paul Sellin is joining its advisory panel.
Sellin has a PhD in nuclear physics from the University of Edinburgh in the field of semiconductor nuclear detectors, and his current research interests at the University of Surrey include the development and characterisation of radiation detectors and detector materials for applications in nuclear physics, medical imaging, and security detection, AMD said.
John Lee, CEO of AMD, said: "I am absolutely delighted to have another academic of Paul’s calibre join AMD to support our work across fields of sensing imaging and detection systems.
“Paul already provides support on our work programme under the Future Leaders Fellowship fund and has worked closely with our chief scientific officer Dr Izabela Jurewicz for several years. This addition will dramatically ramp our capability in these important areas.”
Sellin said: "I’m looking forward to working with AMD in the exciting area of nanomaterial sensors. Our mutual interest in developing nanomaterials for applications in radiation sensing is a fast-developing area of research, with many exciting organic and nanoparticle materials showing great potential for radiation detection applications in application areas such as medical and security imaging.”
