Nanoscale Organisation & Dynamics Group Engagement
Nanoscale Research Newsletters
The Nanoscale Research Newsletter is produced several times per year. It aims to report on the activities of the Nanoscale Organisation and Dynamics Group (Nano), National Imaging Facility (NIF) and the Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Facility (BMRF) in a light hearted and entertaining manner.
Nanoscale Research Abstracts
The NODG irregularly invites guest speakers to present lectures at the Campbelltown campus on current and novel NMRI topics. Previous lecture abstracts are below together with a brief biography for each presenter.
NMR, MRI and Diffusion Symposiums
The Nano holds the Western Sydney University NMR, MRI and Diffusion Symposium every 2 years. A snapshot of each is below (speakers and their topics).
