Adam Steinberg (The University of Melbourne, Manchester University)

Description

Mark Oliphant Prize
Adam’s work focuses on the application of Fixed Field Accelerator technologies to hadron therapy, investigating novel techniques for beam extraction, transport, and delivery. He completed the initial design study for a large energy acceptance beamline technology demonstrator as part of the ‘TURBO’ project at Melbourne University, looking at both beam optics and magnet design methodologies. This beamline can simultaneously transport beams with a momentum spread >±40%, which has the potential to make treatments more efficient and effective. He is now a research fellow at The University of Melbourne, where he continues to work on TURBO as well as other projects.
