Professor Andrew Stuchbery is Head of the Department of Nuclear Physics at the Australian National University, which operates Australia’s Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility for pure and applied nuclear physics research.

He is also Convenor of the ANU Master of Nuclear Science program, which covers both science and policy aspects of nuclear technology, and caters to a broad audience, for example giving training relevant for nuclear security, safeguards and nonproliferation.

He is an internationally engaged experimental nuclear physicist with broad research interests that include nuclear magnetism and nuclear structure, and science at the interface of atomic and nuclear physics.

Current projects range from the study Auger electrons emitted by medical radioisotopes, with potential applications for targeted cancer therapy, to dark matter detection based on nuclear-recoil methods.
