Wen Hu serves as the Lead Beamline Scientist for the Soft X-ray Nanoprobe (SXN) beamline at 29-ID-1 of the NSLS-II. Wen joined the NSLS-II in 2014 and became beamline scientist of Coherent Soft X-ray Scattering (CSX) beamline in 2016, focusing on the development of soft X-ray coherent imaging techniques and dedicated instrumentation besides beamline operation and user support. Wen led the development of a new imaging method, Coherent Correlation Imaging (CCI), that directly allows image fluctuation and dynamics in materials with high time and space resolution. Currently, Wen is working on the NEXT-II project and leading the design and development of the new SXN endstation and its related science programs. Wen has diverse scientific interests, from the characterization of advanced functional materials to the development of state-of-the-art X-ray techniques and instrumentation.
