Robert Zboray

Robert Zboray is a research group leader at the Center for X-ray Analytics (CXA) at Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology), where he leads efforts in developing beyond state-of-the-art X-ray imaging and analytical methods. His work bridges materials science, engineering, biomedical engineering, and life sciences. He is also a lecturer in the Biomedical Engineering master's program at the University of Bern, contributing to advanced biomedical imaging education.

His research focuses on advanced multi-modal X-ray imaging for life science, biomedical, and personalized health applications. He has extensive experience in X-ray and neutron-based imaging at both laboratory and large-scale facilities. His group operates a diverse suite of multi-energy and multi-modal X-ray imaging systems and manages the Empa Imaging and Image Analysis Platform, supporting non-standard image processing challenges.

He is actively involved in the scientific community, with memberships in the International Society of Neutron Radiography, the Swiss Society for Optics and Microscopy (SSOM), and EXCITE Zurich (Center for Experimental and Clinical Imaging Technologies Zurich), fostering collaboration across institutions.

While no specific scientific awards are listed in the provided text, his leadership role, teaching activities, and technical platform development underscore his significant contributions to imaging science. He advises research staff and potentially graduate students through Empa’s collaborations, though no formal advisees are listed. His team engages in in-situ studies and supports a broad range of research topics, including space-related activities (ESA PRODEX) and international projects (SESAME).
