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).

• 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

Artificial Intelligence on X-ray / synchrotron techniques

Artificial intelligence is an emerging tool that is becoming ubiquitous in X-ray and synchrotron facilities. Mindful of its importance and as part of the upgrade of French CRG beamlines at ESRF, we also wish to discuss how these tools can be useful for us and for the community.

Therefore, we will start a series of webinars dedicated to applications of artificial intelligence (machine and deep learning) to techniques based on x-rays and synchrotrons.

The link to connect to the webinars will be send by e-mail. For this reason, please register to the webinars you are interested in. The complete webinar schedule and the registration links is given in the table below:
