Biography
Eric Dooryhee has 25+ years of experience in x-ray powder diffraction. His expertise includes x-ray detectors, diffraction software and beamline optics hardware. Eric Dooryhee received both his Masters degree in Hard Condensed Matter Physics and Crystallography and his Ph.D. in Radiation Physics from the University of Paris. Prior to joining Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL, New York state) in 2009, Eric Dooryhee has been an associate physicist at the Research Center with Ions and Lasers (Caen France, 1990-95), and a senior physicist at the Neel Institute (Grenoble, France, 2001-09). Dr. Dooryhee also worked at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF-France, 1996-2000) on developing the benchmark High Resolution Powder Diffraction beamline. At present, Dr. Dooryhee manages the Diffraction & In Situ Scattering Program of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS-II) at BNL, and is the beamline group leader for the X-ray Powder Diffraction (XPD) beamline at the NSLS-II.
Research Area
Eric Dooryhees research focuses on in-situ and high-resolution structural studies on a variety of materials, including polycrystalline thin films, carbon nanotubes, zeolitic catalysts, organic molecular compounds, battery materials, organic-inorganic hybrids and ancient materials.
