Jillian Moffatt - the journey from laboratory to prototype

Over the past five years, part of the Novel Fluorescence team in the Environmental Luminescence group at IPAS have moved from analysing previously unknown fluorescence characteristics of minerals, to developing a prototype cross-belt sensor for mining after winning two grants from CRC ORE. Analysing this process gives useful information and advice on the pre-commercialisation journey from laboratory discovery to designing a useful product.
