This PhD project is funded by the BMFTR as part of the "EXPLODE" (Experimental X-ray Platforms for Optimisation and Diagnosis of inertial fusion Energy) research group and is focused on developing X-ray imaging diagnostics together with the HED- HiBEF instrument.

The BMFTR Project code is 13F1044 for the project "Experimentelle Röntgenplattformen zur Optimierung und Diagnose der Trägheitsfusion" (EXPLODE).

• Contribute to the development and application of X-ray imaging methods for the investigation of laser-driven, fusion-relevant targets.
• Analyse experimental data and help establish robust, well-documented workflows for the evaluation of X-ray imaging measurements.
• Support the preparation, fabrication and characterisation of nanostructured targets for experiments.
• Assist with the planning, preparation and execution of experiments at European XFEL and other facilities, including beamtime applications.
• Work with colleagues and external collaborators on experimental studies, simulations, data analysis and interpretation.
• Present results through internal reports, conferences and scientific publications, and a doctoral thesis
