Topic : Development of sub-micron resolution Synchrotron X-ray Tomography system

  

 Scope  

                        Development of innovative materials is not only the creative, functional design and the environmentally friendly production, but also requires the technology to characterize and assess the quality of the materials at sub-micron resolution. X-ray tomographic imaging is one of assessment tools that provides a non-destructive visualization of interior details in the materials in three-dimension. A tomographic system requires a highly intensive X-ray source, a precision rotation stage, and a fast X-ray detector, as well as a computational system that allows for a rapid data acquisition and image processing. The PhD project is aimed to develop a high-performance X-ray tomography system that utilizes the brightness and broad-ranged X-ray energy generated from Siam Photon Source (SPS) to achieve the sub-micron resolution. The research involves relevant mechanical design, image processing coding, electronic and control systems, and the design of the experiments to demonstrate the imaging system performance. The PhD candidates will be working alongside the SLRI beamline scientists and engineers for their projects. Successful PhD candidates will have a comprehensive understanding of synchrotron instrumentation design and be able to combine several academic disciplines or professional specializations in an approach to the research topic.
