Stefan Hau-Riege, Ph.D., is X-ray Science and Technology group leader and project leader in the Physics Division at LLNL. He works on the interaction of XFEL radiation with materials, X-ray instrumentation, ultrafast imaging, and dense plasma physics, drawing on computational and experimental physics. Previously he worked on extreme-ultraviolet lithography, materials reliability, and laser-assisted recrystallization.

Dr. Hau-Riege received his Ph.D. in Materials Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2000, and a M.S. in Solid-State Physics and Applied Mathematics from the University of Hamburg, Germany. He has developed instrumentation for the LCLS Front-End Enclosure and has led multiple experimental LCLS campaigns since its inception. He has authored and co-authored over 80 publications in peer-reviewed journals (more than a third as first author), is co-inventor of more than 20 patents, and authored a book on high-intensity X-ray matter interaction.

Stefan Hau-Riege is expert on simulations and experiments of XFEL radiation damage to various materials, including proteins. His expertise will be used to push XFEL bioimaging to its limits by determining optimum pulse parameters and sample geometry, and, simultaneously, gaining a fundamental understanding of XFEL radiation damage processes.
