Daniel is an experimental physicist (most of the time) active in several areas of x-ray physics, imaging and optics. He enjoys working with compact x-ray sources as well as at synchrotrons. Daniel is currently seconded at the Australian Synchrotron, but collaborates actively with teams at Elettra (Italy), APS (USA), ESRF (France) and PETRA III (Germany).

Daniel has research projects available in many topics and with different degrees of complexity. Feel free to contact him if you want to know more. Topics include:

X-ray imaging techniques Scanning and full-field x-ray phase contrast microscopy; Phase contrast imaging with laboratory sources X-ray waveguide optics Phase contrast tomography with grating interferometry. X-ray scattering and diffraction imaging Ultra-small angle x-ray scattering of nanoparticles Coherent diffraction imaging of nano-objects Statistical optics Partial coherence for hard x-rays Coherence vortices Phase retrieval Neutron imaging and tomography Neutron waveguide optics Neutron phase contrast tomography
