Overview
The workshop is dedicated to scientific community engaging in bioenvironmental research focusing on the Department of Energy mission and interested in incorporating X-ray methods in their scientific toolkit. The primary focus is on X-ray fluorescence microscopy and X-ray computed tomography – the methods that allow to study physical and chemical properties of bioenvironmental systems, including plants, soils, and microbes. The participants will be introduced to the techniques, data analysis, and relevant beamlines. Attendees can also expect to hear examples of scientific stories that demonstrate the potential applications of these methods in research.
Substantial amount of time will be dedicated to discussing individual participants’ scientific project and potential incorporation of the X-ray methods into their research. The attendees will also learn about the eBERlight program supporting bioenvironmental research community at the Advanced Photon Source user facility.
For efficient engagement, the workshop will be limited to 20 participants. Travel funds will be available for eligible participants.
Target Audience
The workshop is limited to 20 participants interested in incorporating X-ray methods into their scientific toolkit to study physical and chemical properties of bioenvironmental systems, including plants, soils, and microbes, or related fields.
