Title: Multi-modal and multi-scale imaging at NIST: Developments, Applications, Opportunities
Speaker: Daniel S. Hussey, Physical Measurement Laboratory, NIST, US
Abstract
In this talk, I’ll discuss how hydrogen fuel cells have been a motivating technology to develop neutron imaging methods at NIST. In particular, the need for fine spatial and temporal resolution and the need to conduct tomography. From this initial source of inspiration has spun many lines of inquiry: what is the most efficient way to measure neutron dark-field images; does simultaneous acquisition of X-ray tomograms produce unique insights; how many neutron projections does one need to derive a reasonable estimate of a tomogram; is it possible to realize a neutron analog of Hooke’s microscope?
Biography
Dr. Daniel S. Hussey is a research scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology where he leads a team in the development of novel neutron imaging and optics techniques for materials science applications. Dr. Hussey began his career at NIST in 2004 as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow. Dr. Hussey earned a B.S. in physics from the University of New Hampshire and a PhD in physics from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN where he used dense samples of polarized 3He in polarized neutron reflectometry studies of magnetic thin films. Dr. Hussey holds one U.S. and one world patent in the area of signal processing, has co-authored over 180 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, has been a co-PI on three funded NIST Innovations in Measurement Science projects, is a fellow of the American Physical Society, and has received several awards including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientist and Engineers, the Arthur S. Flemming Award, an R&D 100 award, and the Department of Commerce Silver Award.
