Outreach talk at Trieste’s Adriaco

Prof. Thibault was invited by the Regional division of the association Marevivo to give an outreach talk about our recent work using X-rays to help
Our research is focused on pushing the limits of X-ray imaging techniques towards ever higher resolution and higher contrast sensitivity. In particular, we look at means of using coherence and the related interference and diffraction phenomena as tools to efficiently encode nanometer-scale information from samples of interest. Decoding this information requires sophisticated algorithmic techniques, which are a specialty of our group.
The two main techniques applied and investigated in our group are called ptychography and speckle-based X-ray imaging.

Dr. Vittorio Di Trapani, who just completed his PhD at the University of Siena, is joining the team today as a post-doc. Vittorio has vast
In a new paper published last week, we show how ptychography can be used to characterize the extremely short and powerful X-ray pulses generated at
The S-BaXIT project is done in collaboration with Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, the only synchrotron radiation facility in Italy. Elettra hosts the OptImaTo group and its laboratory.
We are always ready to take on new challenges, with new collaborators and ideas of systems and samples to image. We are also looking for industrial partners.
