Shun Yu

Shun Yu works with advanced characterization techniques at synchrotron radiation and neutron scattering facilities, also known as large scale research infrastructures (LSRI). Trained as soft X-ray spectroscopist during his Ph.D. and now working extensively with hard X-ray scattering, as well as a passionate learner of neutron scattering techniques, he is interested in exploring the potentials of these techniques, advancing the strategies of data analyses, and implementing them to characterize materials' structure and properties for both fundamental and applied types of research.

With a broad background in materials science and engineering; a bachelor’s degree in metallic materials, a master degree in nanomaterials and nanotechnology and a Ph.D. degree in surface physics, as well as extensive experiences with biobased materials and polymeric materials, he is prepared to take different research challenges in materials science.

Now, he is a member of the LSRI team at RISE, which promotes the communication of between facilities, industries, academia and institutes upon the applications of LSRI in general and helps researchers from industries and institutes to use advanced techniques.

List of characterization techniques:
- Transmission SAXS/WAXS
- Grazing incidence SAXS/WAXS (GISAXS/GIWAXS)
- X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
- Near Edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy
- Resonant photoelectron spectroscopy/Resonant Auger spectroscopy
