X-ray Scattering Center People

We are the researchers (and the number is growing!) who you can connect with in case you need a collaborator in X-ray scattering related characterization and research.
Do you want to sign up as one of us? Please let me know!
See you in the lab!

"I am from School of Chemical Engineering, Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems, Biobased Materials Structure Group. Please visit my home page for more information about my research!" -Paavo-

 Inge Schlapp-Hackl

Inge Schlapp-Hackl

Postdoctoral Researcher
X-ray scattering methods generally, expertise and interest on SAXS/WAXS studies of cellulose/carbon/biopolymers

"I am from Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems, Biopolymer Chemistry and Engineering. Feel free to contact me for advice on sample preparation, method establishment, and data analysis." -Inge-

 Ramesh Raju

Ramesh Raju

Staff Scientist, Ph.D
HRXRD – instrumentation, instrument training, technical support, epitaxial layers, rocking curves, reciprocal space maps

"I am from Electrical Engineering, Department of Electronics and Nano Engineering (ELE), Micro and Quantum system research group. I probe epitaxial layers information such as layer thickness, composition, strain, relaxation, and structural quality by measuring rocking curves and reciprocal space maps using high-resolution X-ray optics. " -Ramesh-

 Eeva-Leena Rautama

Eeva-Leena Rautama

University Lecturer, Ph.D
Powder XRD, inorganic materials, Bragg-Brentano geometry, composition analysis, profile fitting and Rietveld refinement

"I am from the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science (CHEM School). As a university lecturer, I am mostly occupied by curriculum teaching -but when available, always happy to discuss matters related to XRD." -Eeva-Leena-

External collaborators

OtaNano is a national platform for research and innovation. Many of us who are using the X-ray scattering facilities at OtaNano or at other Aalto laboratories are researchers from other organisations than Aalto. We are also depending on other institutes when it comes to certain characterization methods and the expertice regarding those. Here are listed external collaborators who complement our capabilities.

 Martin Nieger

Martin Nieger

Docent, University Lecturer at the University of Helsinki, Ph.D
structural chemistry, chemical crystallography, single crystal X-ray structure analysis

"I am from the Department of Chemistry, University of Helsinki and happy to collaborate in studies involving single crystal X-Ray structure determination and I can provide a complete package: from data collection, structure solution and refinement, and preparing the crystallographic part for the publication." -Martin-
