X-ray phase-contrast imaging commonly employs grating interferometers to obtain phase and dark-fied information. In our group we use this tool for medical purposes, material sciences and for single shot laboratory astrophysics and fusion research experiments. In this talk I will summarise our phase-contrast imaging program.
Martin Rongen is a Staff Scientist at the Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP). He earned his PhD in Physics from RWTH Aachen University in 2019 and subsequently held a postdoctoral position at JGU Mainz before joining ECAP in 2023 to pursue his habilitation. Throughout these years he has worked as an instrumentation specialist and calibration expert for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Since 2025, he coordinates the Technology Transfer Group at the chair of Prof. Stefan Funk, overseeing research and development in X-ray phase-contrast imaging and clinical dosimetry.
