Michal Strach

As a Senior Research Engineer at the Chalmers Materials Analysis Laboratory, I oversee the X-ray scattering instrument park. My role involves instrument management (service, calibration, procurements), facilitating standard and advanced experiments, and providing expert consultancy on experimental design and data interpretation for our academic and industrial collaborators. I am also involved in several technical development and research projects, in collaboration with research groups at Chalmers.

I received my initial training in Technical Physics: Nanotechnology at TU Gdansk (Poland), earning an Engineer’s and a Master’s degree, followed by a Master’s in Materials Science for Nuclear Energy from Grenoble Institute of Technology (France). I completed my PhD at Aix-Marseille University/CEA (France), focusing on the thermodynamic properties of mixed-oxide nuclear fuels, and further pursued my interests in experimental techniques to study nanomaterials during my postdoctoral stay at EPFL (Switzerland).

I specialize in in-situ setup design and development for laboratory and synchrotron X-ray scattering.
