Current Role at Stanford

Since ~2016 I have been involved in the design, construction and commissioning of new instrumentation at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, aiming at developing novel time-resolved soft x-ray scattering methods. Currently I am the Instrument Lead for the qRIXS experimental endstation, which focuses on performing resonant inelastic x-ray experiment to study ultrafast dynamics in correlated electron systems.
