Topic : Development of synchrotron-based advanced measurement techniques
Scope
The outcome of this project is a successful implementation of a synchrotron-based measurement technique that is prominent and new to the SLRI. The research involves development of relevant mechanical design, electronic and control systems, and the design of the experiments to demonstrate its capability. Scope of the project could range from an implementation of a new data collection algorithm, development of an operando/in-situ system for existing measurement techniques at the SLRI, development of coupling lab-based characterization tools to the synchrotron beamlines, to an implementation of a new characterization technique. Beam time at the SLRI beamlines such as x-ray absorption spectroscopy, x-ray imaging and x-ray scattering beamlines will be allocated to the project for the required experiments. The Ph.D candidates will be working alongside the SLRI beamline scientists for their projects as well as various works at the beamline. Upon completion of this project, the candidate will have good understanding of relevant synchrotron techniques and beamline instrumentation and able to work independently in research projects and beamline development projects.
