Dr. Börje Norlin - new associate professor at STC

We congratulate Dr. Börje Norlin who gave his trial lecture on Thursday the 21st of April. His lecture was titled “Material resolving imaging - Immediate tracking of harmful substances around us”.

Description

Already in 1960th science fiction TV-shows, the presence of useful ores or toxic gases were detected by handheld instruments. At that time, it was a fantasy, but now we are almost there. This speech presents technologies necessary for material resolving imaging and exemplifies real life- and industrial applications. Environmental monitoring using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements is already a reality. In the near future 100% recycling efficiency is might be achieved thanks to new developed material resolving imaging systems.
