Peco Myint received his Bachelor’s degree in Physics in 2015 from Haverford College. He then attended Boston University, where he received his Master’s degree in Physics in 2017 and got Ph.D in Materials Science and Engineering in 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Karl Ludwig. He then joined Dynamics and Structure (DYS) group in the X-ray Science Division at the Advanced Photon Source as a postdoctoral fellow to work with Dr. Zhang Jiang on conducting Coherent Scattering and Surface Imaging (CSSI) experiments and developing reconstruction algorithms for the upcoming APS-U CSSI feature beamline.

Research interests:

• Thin film growth, non-linear spontaneous nano-patterning, and surface characterizations
• X-ray Photon Correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) 
• Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS)
• Coherent Scattering and Surface Imaging (CSSI) in Coherent Diffraction Imaging (CDI), Ptychography, Tomography methodologies.
