M1 7HS PROFILEBob Cernik graduated in physics from University College Cardiff (University of Wales) in 1976 and obtained his PhD from the same university. He came to Manchester in 1979 to work in crystal structure analysis for the chemistry departments of UMIST and the old Manchester University. After this 3 year postdoctoral fellowship he left for industry where he joined Ferranti Electronics working in semiconductor process evaluation. In 1986 he joined Daresbury laboratory in Cheshire working on the synchrotron radiation source. He began working as a station scientist interested in powder X-ray diffraction, subsequently becoming head of the X-ray diffraction group and assistant director responsible for the physical sciences. In 2002 he renewed his association with Manchester becoming a joint appointment with the Materials Science Centre. Bob's research interests stem mainly from the development of synchrotron radiation as an analytical tool in materials science. He is chair of the Materials and Engineering College at Daresbury Laboratory and holds a visiting chair at the Department of Crystallography, Birkbeck College London.

PROFILE Paul Barnes graduated in physics from Bristol University in 1963 and obtained his PhD at The EDD work was developed into a novel technique of diffraction tomography (called TEDDI) which ultimately led, in collaboration with Bob Cernik, to the present search for new methods and detector materials to enable TEDDI to be carried out in real time. CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS The development of Tomographic Energy Dispersive Diffraction Imaging (TEDDI) for non destructive 3D images of industrially-relevant materials including engineering components, ceramics, zeolites, catalysts and cementitious materials; real time in situ diffraction of the same industrially-relevant materials.

PROFILE Andy Brinkman graduated in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Nottingham University in 1973 and stayed on to complete his Ph.D. in 1976, studying the hetero-epitaxy of zinc selenide on germanium. Following this he spent four years as a lecturer in Physics at the University of Ahmadu Bello in Northern Nigeria, where he undertook some research into the effects on insolation of high levels of Saharan dust entrained on the Harmattan wind blowing down off the desert.

Mr Paul Seller Head of Detector Development Group at Rutherford Appleton Lab Tel: +44 (0) 1235 446850 PROFILE Paul Seller graduated in physics from Queen Mary College ( University of London) in 1977. He joined RAL 1978 to work in Particle Physics. He then moved to the Electronics Division and started the Microelectronics group. He designed many Application Specific Integrated Circuits for various space science and particle physics experiment and managed the group to build it to 20 staff. He specialised in low-noise analogue amplifiers and contributed to the literature in noise in electronic circuits. Paul became MIET CEng in 1993. He then ran another electronic group across RAL and Darsbury Lab before becoming the head of Detector Development where his personal research has concentrated on pixellated solid state detectors. As well as his physics and electronic design interests he has developed a knowledge of electronic interconnection technologies and has developed several projects to extend the use of solder and gold stud bonding with commercial companies. He has developed bonding infrastructure at RAL which will be enhanced to bond the HEXITEC detectors. Paul has a firm commitment to best practice project management and was instrumental in the certification of electronics at RAL to ISO9001. RELEVANT PUBLICATIONS 1.

B.Sc. ( Birmingham), PhD (Edinburgh), MInstP, CPhys, MIEEE UNIVERSITY OF SURREY School of Physics, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH PROFILE Dr Sellin is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics, and leads the detector physics research within the Centre for Nuclear and Radiation Physics. He obtained his PhD at Edinburgh University developing silicon strip detectors for heavy ion nuclear physics applications. Before moving to Surrey he worked in the high energy physics group at the University of Sheffield where he studied GaAs radiation detectors. His current research concentrates on the characterisation of semiconductor materials for radiation detector applications, with a particular emphasis on the characterisation of charge transport in wide bandgap bulk semiconductors such as CdTe, CdZnTe and diamond. His group possesses an excellent range of optical and electrical characterisation equipment, including whole-wafer PL mapping, photo-induced current transient spectroscopy (PICTS), sub-bandgap optical microscopy and laser-induced time-of-flight mapping. The group’s laboratories also include a dedicated detector fabrication laboratory for II-VI and other wide bandgap materials. CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS Dr Sellin’s current research projects include the study of trapping phenomena and radiation-induced defects in single crystal synthetic diamond (PPARC) and the characterisation of charge transport in II-VI detector materials such as CdTe, CdZnTe and CdMnTe (EPSRC). 3 RECENT PUBLICATIONS P.J.
