Lund, Sweden
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Jackson is a Division Head at the European Spallation Source with 18 years’ experience leading instrument scientists and research engineers to deliver next-generation neutron scattering facilities (SANS, NR, NMX). He holds a DPhil in Physical Chemistry from Oxford and combines deep hands-on expertise in neutron, X-ray and light scattering with strategic program leadership across instrument design, commissioning and operational safety. At ESS he has taken instruments from concept to detailed design and coordinated complex in-kind partnerships and regulatory processes, while maintaining an active research profile at Lund University in biomolecular and colloidal systems. His career spans national labs and academia, where he built instrument control software, bespoke sample environments and in-situ characterization methods that bridge fundamental science and practical facility needs. Known for translating microscopic molecular insight into macroscopic materials understanding, he is equally comfortable supervising PhD projects as he is interfacing with industrial and academic stakeholders. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he has repeatedly merged software, hardware and scientific leadership to accelerate instrument readiness and early science programs.
