Role at ANSTO
Dr Stephanie Bird (formerly Boer) is an instrument scientist at the two Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) beamlines at the Synchrotron, focusing on the concerns of the chemical crystallography community. She provides support to beamline users and is working on developing making high pressure crystallography, as well as other non-standard techniques, accessible on these beamlines.
Stephanie has a background in synthetic chemistry, ranging from chiral coordination chemistry to hydrogen-bonded frameworks and photocatalytic systems. All of her research has involved crystallisation, crystal engineering, and structural analysis.
