معرفی
Dr. Darryl Jones is a Senior Research Fellow at Flinders University's College of Science and Engineering and the Flinders Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology. His research focuses on experimental and theoretical studies of electron and photon collisions with atoms, molecules, and condensed matter systems.
His educational background includes a Doctor of Philosophy from Flinders University (2008) and a Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Tohoku University, Japan (2008-2010).
Dr. Jones' research interests span electron collisions with applications in medical radiation therapies and plasma processing technologies. His work involves experimental studies of electron-impact excitation, ionization, and fragmentation processes, combined with quantum chemical computations to describe atomic and molecular phenomena. He has specialized in photon- and electron-impact processes and has developed novel chemical processing platforms for materials synthesis. Most recently, he managed a Photoemission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) facility within Flinders Microscopy and Microanalysis (2020-2022).
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on electron-molecule interactions, materials characterization, and scattering cross-section measurements, with applications spanning from fundamental physics to practical technological implementations.
