Jeremy Shaw is platform leader for X-ray CT imaging at UWA's Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis and President of Volume Imaging Australia (VIA). A marine biologist by training, Dr Shaw's interests focus on the application of X-ray and electron microscope techniques to study structure and function in biominerals (teeth, bone, shell), but is more broadly interested the application of microscopy for the study of all biological, geological and synthetic materials. VIA’s core mission is to facilitate the utilisation of 3D imaging modalities and to provide resources for the analysis of data these instruments generate.
