Biography

David Walker is the facility manager for the X-ray Diffraction Research Technology Platform (RTP). He has 20 years' experience in X-ray scattering techniques with a background in crystallography and ferroelectric materials. David has managed the X-ray diffraction equipment at Warwick since 2008, with the RTP formally founded in 2014. He is responsible for training and assisting users from a wide spectrum of scientific backgrounds to use the equipment independently and interpret the X-ray data that they collect. David and his team have a strong track record of working with external companies and other higher education institutions to tackle challenging problems using X-ray scattering techniques. David is available to provide advice and support on all aspects of X-ray diffraction and scattering, but in particular High-resolution diffraction and Powder diffraction.
