Project description
Third-cycle subject: Physics, specialization Biological and biomedical physics
We are looking for a PhD student in experimental phase contrast x-ray imaging. Progress in development of sensors and electronics in our group has enabled a concept for high resolution x-ray imaging down to 1 micrometer spatial resolution. We are now at a stage where we will evaluate the first prototypes in table-top experiments and at synchrotron sources. The new sensor technology paves the way for practical phase contrast imaging, and we want to explore the imaging capabilities in terms of increased contrast as well as spatial resolution, where we expect a significant gain. Our final target is clinical applications in CT, one of the most common medical examinations. See our home page
