The WA Branch of the AIP invites you to a public lecture by Dr Suzanne V Smith from the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Antimatter-Matter Studies

6.00 - 7.30 pm, 30th July, Bankwest Lecture Theatre, Building 200, Curtin University of Technology

Antimatter is the same as ordinary matter except that it has the opposite electric charge. When antimatter and matter annihilate an enormous amount of energy is released as predicted by Einstein’s famous E=mc2 formula. Today antimatter is used in many applications, from cancer detection through to the engineering of novel materials. Understanding the interactions of antimatter with molecules and materials can yield an array of new materials with extraordinary properties.

Dr Smith has 19 years’ experience in the design and development of reactor and cyclotron radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals. This experience spans all aspects of the research and development required to take a scientific concept from the laboratory to clinical trials. She is a very energetic and engaging speaker.
