Eric Dufresne completed his PhD Thesis at McGill University in 1995 in the nascent field of X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS). After a Postdoctoral Fellowship at The University of Michigan where he participated in the construction of the 7-ID beamline, he moved to Argonne where he contributed to the completion of beamline 7-ID and 7-BM and supported user operation from 1999. In 2014, he returned to XPCS where he supports users science on 8-ID-E (Wide-angle XPCS) and 8-ID-I (SAXS XPCS).
