The X-ray Imaging Group ( https://www.aps.anl.gov/Imaging ) of the X-ray Science Division (XSD) operates the full-field x-ray imaging beamlines at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) ( https://www.aps.anl.gov/ ) and pursues collaborative research across materials, energy, environmental, geo-, and life sciences using micro- and nano-tomography and high-speed imaging.

With the APS Upgrade driving a substantial increase in data rates and experimental complexity, the group is investing in AI/ML-driven software, automation, and autonomous experimentation, including a planned fully autonomous, AI-driven tomography beamline — to keep pace with user demand and unlock new science. This work is carried out in close coordination with the APS Computational science and AI (CAI) ( https://cai.xray.aps.anl.gov/ ) group and other APS AI efforts and activities spanning data, computing, and machine learning across the facility. The appointee will benefit from access to world-leading experimental a...
