Biography

Joe Chen completed his PhD at the University of Canterbury on image reconstruction algorithms for serial crystallography using X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL). He then moved to sunny Arizona, USA, as a postdoc in the Physics Department at Arizona State University, honing his skills in XFEL-related things. Now he has returned to New Zealand as a lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Canterbury.

Research interests

Joe's primary interest is in the field of imaging, where he uses X-rays, electrons, optical light and sound waves, among other things, to look at everything from galaxies to protein molecules. His aim is to visualise our Universe and understand how things work. Joe's interests span from phase retrieval algorithms and coherent diffractive imaging, to developing new hardware for ultrasound diagnostics and biomedical applications.
