Dohyun Moon, Beamline Senior Scientist at Pohang Light Source II in Korea, and Michele Manfredda, Scientist in the Photon Transport Group at FERMI in Italy, talk about new technology that is delivering remote control, automation and robot systems. All of these advances reduce the need for humans to be on the beamlines round the clock.
As Michele says, “The best science that we can do at a light source is the one that we do when we sleep and the machines and computers work.”
Dohyun Moon is a Beamline Senior Scientist at the Pohang Light Source II in South Korea. His main work is supporting users visiting the facility for supramolecular crystallography experiments. Dohyan’s research involves characterising the structure of single crystals using crystallography. He is constantly researching the inside of unknown materials and getting good singe crystals challenges and motivates him every day. Hear him talk about his light source journey, aspirations for the future and advice for those considering entering into the realm of light sources.
