Beamline scientist in submicron-Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy.

Interested in 2D and 3D hard X-ray nano-imaging in sycnhrotron-based facilities. Special focus on multi-modalily, e.g. correlative imaging using scanning X-ray fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopic imaging and phase contrast imaging to reveal the structural and elemental information.
