Biography
Dr. Martin Meven received his PhD in natural sciences at the Institute of Crystallography at RWTH Aachen University in 2001. Aside from his scientific work on HT superconductors during this time he gained experience in scattering methods with X-ray diffractometry including instrument development. He extended his expertise as postdoc at Munich, where he developed a new single crystal diffractometer for hot neutrons at the neutron source FRM II of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching, Germany. Since then he has been working as instrument scientist on various topics in the fields of crystallography, solid state chemistry and solid matter physics and material sciences. He has served as a board member of various scientific conferences and scientific referee at review panels at various neutron sources in Europe. He is the speaker of the Special Interest Group on Neutron Scattering (SG # 7) of the German Society of Crystallography (DGK) and organizes workshops on neutron scattering techniques for crystallographers to young scientists on a regular basis.
Research Area
Studies on chemical and magnetic structures on single crystals based on neutron and X-ray diffraction data. Development of optimized neutron diffraction methods and algorithms for small samples and advanced sample environments for non-ambient conditions.
