“Characterisation of the Medipix4 photon counting chip using X-rays”

Abstract: The Medipix4 ASIC is a CMOS pixel detector read-out chip working in single counting mode, which is currently in development. It is designed to be combined with different semiconductor sensors to convert X-rays into detectable electric signals. To test the chip, I performed measurements with and without a charge sharing suppression circuit enabled at different X-ray fluxes. I also did some X-ray imaging with the device.

“Methodological Developments in Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy: Computational and Experimental Perspectives”

Abstract: Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy is a powerful experimental technique for probing defects and electronic structures in materials. In this presentation, I will introduce my work in positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy during my PhD in University of Science and Technology of China, including extracting the positron-electron correlation functional from Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of a homogeneous positron-electron gas and applying it in density functional theory calculations, using machine learning to predict positron annihilation lifetimes in solids, and developing a high-count-rate positron annihilation lifetime spectrometer. These studies provide insights into defect characterization and electronic interactions in materials.

Abstract: This work presents a machine-learning approach to extract Hamiltonian parameters from STM-ESR data in one-dimensional quantum spin chains. Leveraging spin excitations in presence of quantum impurities, the algorithm identifies complex interactions as Heisenberg exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, advancing the understanding of quantum spin many-body systems.
