PAUL G. SPIZZIRRI
B.App.Sc. (Swinburne)

Senior Researcher and Facilities Manager, Microanalytical Research Centre (MARC).

Research Interests

The importance of microscopic processes and structures in biological and materials based systems is well established. The use of microspectroscopic techniques to probe these phenomena can reveal much about their structure and function.

My key research interests include

Development of enabling technologies for Solid State Quantum Computation; development of new microspectroscopic tools; characterisation of materials and biological systems using Raman, fluorescence, PIXE and RBS techniques.
