Jitendra Mata is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of Chemistry, University of New South Wales, and a Principal Instrument Scientist at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ANSTO). With over 14 years at ANSTO, he has served as Principal Instrument Scientist for the Kookaburra Ultra Small Angle Neutron Scattering (USANS) instrument since March 2017 and as an instrument associate for the Quokka Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) instrument since July 2018. He was also a Guest Researcher at LINXS during May-June 2024 as a LINXS Fellow.
Dr. Mata's research focuses on complex soft materials with industrial relevance since his PhD. His investigations span surfactant and block copolymer solutions, emulsions, food proteins, hydrogels, and minerals using neutron and x-ray scattering techniques. His work bridges fundamental soft condensed matter science with practical applications in materials and food science.
