Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Phillips is a research physicist with 11 years’ experience developing and applying advanced coherent X-ray imaging techniques for biological and materials science. Trained at La Trobe (BSc Hons, MSc, PhD), he pioneered rapid ptychography and Bragg coherent diffractive imaging for cellular and strain mapping, earning a CSIRO scholarship and later a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship at PSI. His postdoc at Oxford shifted focus to strain and disorder in engineering materials, and he has since led method development in multi-modal imaging, ultra-high resolution tomography, and motionless high-speed X-ray scanning. Now at CSIRO’s Microanalytical Geoscience team, he continues to translate cutting-edge beamline methods into practical tools for mineral and materials characterization. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of bridging user support at large facilities with hands-on algorithm and instrumentation innovation, enabling both scientific discovery and routine facility operation.
