Frank Klose is a senior researcher at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation in Sydney and a visiting professor at City University of Hong Kong. Dr Klose 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, Sydney. From 2009 to 2014, Frank was leading 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$60 M. Frank 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.
