RESEARCH AREAS
Yakov is currently a post-doctoral fellow in the XRSI team based at CSIRO Manufacturing & Infrastructure Technology at Clayton, Victoria, that has been conducting pioneering research and development in the area of novel methods of high-resolution X-ray imaging. Yakov is working on theoretical aspects of X-ray in-line (free space propagation) and crystal-based (diffraction enhanced) phase-contrast imaging. He is involved in the optimisation of the instrumental design of XuM/PCX techniques and a proposed medical beam-line for the Australian synchrotron. Prior to working at CSIRO he carried out research in related areas of X-ray science, particularly in the areas of statistical dynamical and kinematical X-ray diffraction and X-ray diffraction studies of poly-crystalline and multilayer crystalline materials.
