This postdoctoral scientist 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 resonant X-Ray scattering and spectroscopy diagnostics for fusion science on XFELs.

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

• Develop resonant X-Ray spectroscopy methods for high-temperature, high-density and fusion-relevant experimental platforms on XFEL experiments
• Develop and apply analysis and modelling approaches for resonant inelastic x-ray scattering
• Work to define experimental requirements, targetry, and spectroscopic diagnostics to measure the properties of transient plasma states
• Plan, coordinate, and participate in experiments at European XFEL and international facilities
• Disseminate results through publications, conferences and collaborations
