Andrew A. BETTIOL

Andrew A. Bettiol is an Associate Professor and Deputy Head (Resources & Exec/Admin Staff) at the National University of Singapore (NUS), affiliated with the Centre for Ion Beam Applications (CIBA). He holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne (1999). His research focuses on advanced ion beam technologies for quantum materials and biomedicine, including quantum defect engineering in diamond and 2D materials, radiobiology studies using proton beams, and novel detector systems.

Key research areas include creating spin defects in materials like hBN and SiC for quantum sensing, developing single-proton dosimetry for targeted cellular studies, and optimizing proton beam applications in medicine and materials science. His work bridges fundamental physics with applied technologies, such as diamond-based photon emitters and proton therapy improvements.

Notable contributions include high-resolution ion beam microscopy of whole cells, single-proton counting scintillators, and defect-engineered quantum systems. His research emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches in quantum technologies and biomedical imaging.

Dr. Bettiol leads projects at CIBA, collaborating on quantum communication, radiation biology, and accelerator-driven materials innovations. His studies span from nanoscale defect characterization to large-scale biomedical and industrial applications.
