Frank has a BSc in Applied Physics, an MSc in X-ray analytical techniques and a PhD in Solid State Chemistry. He joined ANU in 1994 and has developed extensive experience in the maintenance and operation of scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Frank's primary expertise is in providing expert support in quantitative X-ray microanalysis, mineral mapping and a range of materials SEM applications. More recently he has taken up a role in supporting both cryo and room temperature focussed ion beam (FIB) applications.
