HPCAT at Advanced Photon Source has recently upgraded all its end-stations and with the brightness, coherence and low emittance of the APS-U. We are uniquely positioned to advance cutting-edge, extreme conditions science with a variety of platforms such as dynamic DAC (dDAC), Rotational DAC (RotoDAC), Multi-axis DAC (MDAC) coupled to a suite of probes including white beam Laue, multi-crystal-multi-wavelength diffraction, laser heating and inelastic scattering.
In addition, we are in the process of enabling newer techniques such as Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (BCDI), Phase Contrast Imaging (PCI), X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) as well as X-ray Diffraction Imaging (XDI). HPCAT is looking for postdoctoral researchers who will join our team and drive exciting science. The overarching theme of research is understanding the solid-melt transition at high pressure-temperature conditions. We invite applicants with high-pressure experience, synchrotron x-ray methods, advanced imaging expertise or background in computational methods and large data analysis.
