Matt Kilburn

Matt Kilburn is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Western Australia's School of Earth and Oceans and Head of the Environmental Sample Laboratory at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). His research applies Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) to geological and nuclear materials.

Education includes:

• Ph.D. in Experimental Petrology, University of Bristol
• B.Sc. in Planetary Science, University College London

Research examines isotopic distributions in mineral systems, nuclear safeguards, and radioisotope behavior. Current work focuses on developing analytical methods for nuclear forensics and environmental monitoring. His geochemistry research investigates ore formation processes, mineral corrosion, and biomineralization mechanisms using nanoSIMS techniques.

Publications demonstrate expertise in correlative microscopy for mineral analysis and radioisotope tracing in environmental samples. Research collaborations span geoscience, materials science, and nuclear chemistry disciplines.
