Professor Klose is a senior researcher at the Australian Nuclear Science and
Technology Organisation in Sydney and a visiting professor at the City
University of Hong Kong. He completed his doctorate in
experimental physics at the University of Goettingen, Germany in 1993.
The main theme of his thesis was synchrotron absorption spectroscopy on
magnetic thin films. During his postdoctoral years, he joined the Hahn
Meitner Institute in Berlin, Germany and later the Argonne National
Laboratory in Chicago. In 1997, he was appointed as a professor of
technical physics in Dresden, Germany. In 1999, Frank joined the
Spallation Neutron Source at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA
where he served as senior scientist and group leader for large scale
structures science. In 2007, he joined the Australian Nuclear Science
and Technology Organisation in Sydney, Australia. From 2009 to
2014, Klose led the neutron beam instruments and major capital
projects group at the Bragg Institute. This group of ~45 scientists,
engineers, technicians and administrative staff delivered seven
additional neutron instruments and several other major instrumentation
projects with a budget of US$60M. Klose is a professorial fellow of the
University of New South Wales, Sydney, and his science group is working
on novel spintronic, multiferroic and magnetic thin film materials.
