Biography

Dr Stait-Gardner obtained his PhD in theoretical physics from Western Sydney University (WSU) in 2006. His PhD was on thermodynamics in the curved spacetime of general relativity. Dr. Stait-Gardner is currently National Imaging Facility (NIF) Fellow at WSU. He has worked on collaborative projects with numerous groups, both domestic and international. These projects apply MRI in novel ways and include assessing various MRI contrast agents, determining the mechanical properties of skin, studying the development of grapes, investigating novel cancer biomarkers and investigating whether inorganic phosphorus regulates the rate of leaf photosynthesis and growth during phosphorus starvation.
