Summary
Xuefei Guo is an experimental condensed matter physicist and postdoctoral researcher with nine years of hands-on experience designing, building, and automating custom instruments for electron and x-ray spectroscopy. Comfortable in a full-stack engineering role, she has boosted beam currents 10x, tripled instrument uptime, and developed photocathodes, cryogenic integrations, and control software that sped data processing by an order of magnitude. Her work spans synchrotron beamlines to national labs and industry internships (ASML, Inprentus), reflecting a rare blend of vacuum hardware, optics, and software expertise. She collaborates across disciplines on projects related to semiconductors, optics, VR, particle sources and fusion/medical instruments, and often reverse-engineers or machines components to translate ideas into operational tools. Based in Urbana-Champaign and now at Brookhaven, she focuses on building impactful experimental platforms that enable new measurements of complex quantum materials.
