Mads Allerup Carlsen

Mads Allerup Carlsen is a Research Fellow at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland, affiliated with the Center for Photon Science and Laboratory for Condensed Matter. He holds a split position between the Structure and Mechanics of Advanced Materials group and the CSX group operating the cSAXS beamline at the Swiss Light Source (SLS).

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Physics from the Technical University of Denmark, completed under Associate Professor Hugh Simons.

Dr. Carlsen specializes in advanced X-ray imaging methodologies, with core expertise in Dark-Field X-ray Microscopy and Small- and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering Tensor Tomography. His research integrates computational physics, materials characterization, and experimental optimization to analyze functional and engineering materials at microscopic scales, focusing on software development for data analysis and reconstruction techniques.

His 2022 publications demonstrate a cohesive research trajectory in computational X-ray imaging, particularly Fourier ptychographic techniques and wavefront propagation simulations for dark-field microscopy. These works establish interdisciplinary connections between optical physics, tomographic reconstruction, and materials engineering, emphasizing algorithmic innovation for structural analysis.
