معرفی
Christian Schroer is a Professor at the University of Hamburg and Leading Scientist at DESY, where he directs the scientific program of the PETRA III synchrotron radiation source. His research focuses on X-ray microscopy, X-ray optics, and their applications in materials science, nanotechnology, and condensed matter physics. He has contributed to the strategic development of PETRA IV, an ultra-low emittance synchrotron source, and co-founded the Helmholtz Imaging platform for data-driven imaging science. His career includes roles as a professor at TU Dresden (2006–2014), a scientist at DESY, and postdoctoral research at institutions like the University of Maryland and RWTH Aachen University. Schroer’s group develops advanced X-ray microscopy techniques and collaborates on projects ranging from solar cell analysis to catalyst dynamics.
