<p>Dr Elliot Gilbert is an instrument scientist for the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ansto.gov.au/ResearchHub/Bragg/Facilities/Instruments/Quokka/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">QUOKKA small-angle neutron scattering instrument</a>&nbsp;and led the project for its design, construction and commissioning. He is also leader of the <a href="http://www.ansto.gov.au/ResearchHub/Bragg/CurrentResearch/ScientificProjects/Thefoodscienceproject/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Food Science project</a>&nbsp;that seeks to apply a materials science approach to the study of structure and dynamics in food-based systems. Gilbert received his PhD in chemistry from the Australian National University in 1998. Following an ARC/SPIRT Industrial Postdoctoral Fellowship, he joined the Small-Angle Scattering Group at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source at Argonne National Laboratory in 1999 where he provided scientific and technical assistance to users of the small-angle scattering instruments. His interests lie in soft condensed matter science and he&nbsp;has&nbsp;investigated such&nbsp;diverse areas as emulsion stabilisation, polymers in confined geometry and phase separation in paraffins but now has an increasing focus on naturally occurring materials.<a href="http://www.ansto.gov.au/ResearchHub/StaffProfiles/GILBERT-ELLIOT#sthash.InnVE3Q7.dpuf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a><br></p>
