PhD Studentship: General Purpose Machine Learning Tool-Kit for Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging

4 months ago


Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom University of Southampton Full time

PhD Supervisor: Dr Marcus Newton

Supervisory Team: Dr Marcus Newton, Dr Dan Porter, Prof Steve Collins, Prof Paul Quinn

Project description:

The University of Southampton is expanding its PhD research in the area of Quantum Technology Engineering. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills.

Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) is a lens-less far field x-ray imaging technique that allows three-dimensional (3D) imaging of quantum materials at the nanometre scale with a sensitivity below a single angstrom. To accomplish this, coherent x-rays from a synchrotron light source are used to illuminate a single nanocrystal which scatters to produce a diffraction (speckle) pattern. That pattern encodes all information about the arrangement of atoms within the nanocrystal. Iterative phase reconstruction computational methods are then routinely used to recover the complex three-dimensional electron density and phase information, which is related to strain in the nanocrystal.

Deep learning has emerged as a powerful alternative to the iterative phase retrieval approach, that can provide robust reconstruction of Fourier-space diffraction pattern data where iterative methods often fail to solve the phase retrieval problem. Although emphasis to date has focussed on inversion from Fourier-space to real-space images, the process of recovering real-space images remains unclear due to the inherent and currently intractable complexity of deep learning methods. In this project you will develop Physics-Aware Super-Resolution convolutional neural network tools to enhance the visibility of Fourier-space diffraction patterns thus enabling rapid and accurate reconstruction of phase information. You will build on our recent and significant developments in machine learning (ML) for phase retrieval.

This project is a collaboration with the Ada Lovelace Institute and Diamond Light Source.
