Dr Shin-ichiro Yano

Instrument Scientist

Role at ANSTO

Dr. Shin-ichiro Yano joined NSRRC and is stationed at ANSTO, Sydney, Australia as of November 2014. He is working at the cold-neutron triple-axis spectrometer SIKA and helps users to pursuit their neutron and materials science. He also has been studying magnetic materials by using pair distribution function analysis (PDF) method, neutron inelastic scattering techniques, and neutron elastic scattering techniques with wide range of neutron spectrometers.
