Two ILL PhD students build a scientific service company to tackle modern industry problems
Samuel Winnall and Wenke Müller are currently carrying out their PhDs as part of the InnovaXN programme. While Samuel specialises in reflectometry and molecular dynamics simulations, Wenke specialises in small-angle scattering, and is focused on kinetics and contrast variation. These two young and talented entrepreneurs, following their first steps into the large-scale facilities playground, decided to bring together their expertise and experience with neutron techniques to tackle modern industry problems.
