PhD PROJECT DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Advanced materials are key to solving a wide range of pressing problems, like sustainable energy harvesting and more efficient computing. The properties of these materials are generally determined by their behavior at the nanoscale when responding to stimuli like light-absorption or voltage pulses, but directly imaging these nanoscale dynamics has proven exceptionally challenging because of three simultaneous requirements: nanometer spatial resolution, femtosecond time resolution, and ability to image random events.<\/p>\n

In our group at IMDEA Nanoscience we have pioneered a new technique capable of imaging processes like phase-transitions or polaron-pair motion at the nanoscale, Coherence Isolated Diffractive Imaging (CIDI) [see S<\/em>cience Advances<\/em> 7 (33) eabf1386, Nature Physics<\/em> 19 (2) 215-220, and arXiv<\/em>:2402.10585]. Using intense ultrafast X-ray pulses available at large scale facilities we take snapshots of dynamical processes at the nanoscale through computational imaging methods, which require extensive numerical analysis. While we have so far focused on applying our method to light-induced phase transitions, in this project the successful candidate will apply CIDI to a series of technologically critical problems:<\/p>\n
