Claire Donnelly

Candidate to represent:SLS user community
Field of studies/profession:Physics
Current affiliation:Lise Meitner Group Leader of Spin3D at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany
Previous affiliations:   
  • University of Oxford
  • PSI & ETH Zurich
  • ETH Zurich
  • University of Cambridge
Research interests:
  • Physics of three dimensional magnetic and superconducting systems
  • Developing synchrotron X-ray-based methods to resolve their structure in 3D
  • Behaviour of three dimensional magnetic nanostructures
Fields of expertise:
  • X-ray magnetic tomography
PSI facilities used so far:SLS, SμS
Motivation statement:As a long term user of the SLS, and having experienced this from both internal (based at PSI during my PhD) and external perspectives, I know how great a facility it is for the user community. In particular, having been involved in method development, in the hard and soft X-ray regimes, I appreciate the breadth of knowledge and expertise PSI and the SLS have. With the SLS 2.0 coming online in the next year, I'm looking forward to these high standards continuing - and would be happy to have the opportunity to be involved in this process.
