He monitored its construction and, with Dieter Einfeld, designed the accelerator system. Boldeman was instrumental in organising the purchase and delivery of the Antares accelerator at Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation in 1988. More recently he has been working for the construction of a particle beam therapy facility, which would offer new treatments to cancer patients. Boldeman has been active in the committees of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and the Australian Institute for Nuclear Science and Engineering. For the International Atomic Energy Agency he has participated in a number of advisory and evaluation committees. 1960 1960 Career event - Joined the Australian Atomic Energy Commission 1969 1977 Career position - Leader, Fission Physics Group, Australian Nuclear Science and Technical Organisation (ANSTO) 1977 1984 Career position - Leader, Nuclear Physics Group, ANSTO 1984 1984 Award - Doctor of Science (DSc), University of New South Wales 1984 1986 Career position - Head, Safeguards and Nuclear Physics Section, ANSTO 1987 1995 Career position - Chief, Physics Division, ANSTO 1989 1991 Career position - Member, National Committee for Physics, Australian Academy of Science 1989 1997 Career position - Member, Neutron Scattering Committee, Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering 1989 2001 Career position - Member, Accelerator Science Committee, Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering 1989 2003 Career position - Council Member, Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering 1990 1994 Career position - Member, International Science and Technology Advisory Committee, Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science and Technology 1993 1993 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE) 1993 1995 Career position - Member, Advisory Committee, Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, Commonwealth Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 1993 1996 Career position - Member, Executive Committee, Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering 1994 2001 Career position - Member, New South Wales Division Committee, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering 1996 1999 Career position - Member, Federal Council, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering 1996 2001 Career position - Member, Policy and Review Board, Australian Synchrotron Research Program 1996 2001 Career position - Member, Executive Committee, Australian Synchrotron Research Program 1996 2001 Career position - Facility Director, Australian Synchrotron Research Program, ANSTO 1997 2001 Career position - Secretary, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering 2001 2002 Career position - Foundation Technical Director, Australian Synchrotron, Major Projects Victoria 2001 2003 Career position - Director, Centre for Synchrotron Science, University of Queensland 2002 2007 Career position - Member, Beamline Advisory Committee, Australian Synchrotron Project, Commonwealth Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development 2003 2007 Career position - Principal Science Advisor, Australian Synchrotron Project, Commonwealth Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development 2003 2007 Career position - Member, International Machine Advisory Committee, Australian Synchrotron Project, Commonwealth Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development 2007 2007 Award - ANZAAS Medal, Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science 2008 Career position - Member, New South Wales Division Committee, Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science 2009 Career position - Professorial Fellow, Institute of Nuclear Science, University of Sydney 2009 2013 Career position - Distinguished Laboratory Fellow and Technical Leader, Australian Hadron Therapy Practice Accelerator Project, ANSTO 2010 2010 Award - Clunies Ross Lifetime Achievement Award, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering 2015 2015 Award - Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) - for distinguished service to nuclear science and technology, particularly through the design and construction of the Australian Synchrotron particle accelerator, and as a mentor to young scientists ANZAAS Medal, Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science (1965 - )
