About

The Australian X-ray Analytical Association (AXAA) Inc. was formed around 1968. The association seeks to provide a forum for technical meetings, discussions and information interchange between workers in the fields of X-ray analysis, including:

• X-ray Diffraction
• X-ray Fluorescence
• Synchrotron Radiation and Neutron Scattering

The association is comprised of a diverse group of scientists and technologists employed in mining, manufacturing industries, research and educational organisations as well as instrument manufacturers throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific region.

President's Address

AXAA’s membership represents a broad spectrum of the community associated with X-ray and complementary scattering techniques of analyses. It is perhaps the only such association to represent these techniques across industry, university and institute-based research, and the companies responsible for manufacturing and further developing these analysis tools.

As an AXAA member since 2008, I have seen the commitment of the association to not only enriching existing communities through events that promote information exchange between the different facets of the AXAA community, but to developing the future community by investing in young researcher events and education.

Elected President at the recent AXAA 2017 Schools, Conference and Exhibition, I am proud to be a part of AXAA as it evolves with changing research and industrial landscapes, and look forward to the exciting future of this community.

Nathan Webster
AXAA President
