SUMMARY:UW Data Science Seminar: Amke Nimmrich
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a UW Data Science Seminar featuring UW Chemi
 stry Postdoctoral Researcher Amke Nimmrich on Thursday\, January 8th from 
 4:30 to 5:20 p.m. PT. The seminar will be held in IEB G109.\n\n&nbsp\;\n"C
 reating a code base for on- and offline analysis of ultrafast X-ray spectr
 oscopy data recorded at the chemRIXS instrument"\nAbstract: X-ray Free El
 ectron Lasers are large scale facilities providing ultrashort pulses of X-
 ray light at high repetition rates. These light pulses can be used to obse
 rve reaction dynamics in real time (femto- to picoseconds (10⁻¹⁵ to 1
 0⁻¹² s)) by taking snapshots after starting a light-induced reaction w
 ith a laser pulse. The chemRIXS instrument at LCLS specifically is used to
  measure the electronic structure around specific atoms through time-resol
 ved X-ray spectroscopies\, giving unprecedented insights into the coupled 
 nuclear and electronic dynamics throughout chemical reactions. The nature 
 of XFEL experiments however leads to recording of vast amounts of data in 
 a very short time. Additionally\, the limited time for experiments at thes
 e large-scale facilities requires immediate analysis of the incoming data 
 to ensure a successful experiment.\n\nTo tackle the computational challeng
 e of the real-time analysis of these data sets the goal of this project wa
 s to create a robust code base for a data analysis pipeline at the chemRIX
 S instrument with guidance from eScience scientist Bryna Hazelton. In this
  talk\, I will present the progress we made in creating this code base\, t
 he functionality we achieved and further tasks that will need to be addres
 sed.\n&nbsp\;\n\nSpeaker Bio: After receiving a BSc (2016) and MSc (2018) 
 in Business Chemistry at Kiel University\, Germany\, Amke Nimmrich moved t
 o Sweden to pursue a PhD in Physical Chemistry at the University of Gothen
 burg. Following her PhD research on time-resolved X-ray solution scatterin
 g which included an external stay at the Technical University of Denmark\,
  Amke joined the group of Prof. Munira Khalil at the University of Washing
 ton in 2023 working on X-ray spectroscopies. In 2024 she received the Wenn
 er-Gren Postdoctoral Fellowship to continue and expand her work with Prof.
  Khalil.\n\n&nbsp\;\nThe 2025-2026 seminars will be held in person\, and a
 re free and open to the public.
