About me

I am interested in advanced microscopy methods and synchrotron radiation techniques, including coherent diffraction techniques, x-ray imaging, tomography and deep learning in microscopy. I have experience in Ptychography, Fourier Ptychography, SAXS, XRD, Micro- and Nano-tomography, and I really like programming scientific tools that I can use to process my data. The type of systems I study is the scaled-up materials, in which information about their morphological structure at the nanometer scale needs to be extracted while keep a fairly big volume. I am constantly fighting to beat the depth-of-field limit in microscopy to obtain images with high Space-Bandwidth-Product (SBP).

Research interests

  • Coherent X-ray imaging: holography, ptychography and coherent diffraction

  • Optical microscopy : Fourier ptychography

  • Correlative imaging: spectroscopy and phase contrast

  • Numerical analysis and algorithm development

  • Materials sciences

  • Artificial intelligence: machine and deep learning

  • Scaled-up materials

  • X-rays and synchrotron instrumentation
