About
Harriott Nowell is a leading figure in synchrotron-based crystallography, whose work has fundamentally advanced the capabilities of small-molecule single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Her primary research focuses on the development of cutting-edge instrumentation for beamlines, enabling faster, more precise, and remotely operable data collection. Nowell’s most significant contribution is the design and implementation of a novel dual air-bearing fixed-χ diffractometer for Beamline I19 at Diamond Light Source, detailed in her highly cited 2017 paper (67 citations). This innovative instrument, paired with a Dectris Pilatus 2M pixel-array detector, dramatically accelerates data acquisition while supporting remote operation—a critical advancement for high-throughput and challenging experiments. Beyond this flagship achievement, her work has been instrumental in optimizing synchrotron beamlines for the international chemical crystallography community. With her contributions enabling researchers to solve complex structures more efficiently, Nowell stands out as a key architect of modern synchrotron facilities, bridging the gap between hardware engineering and cutting-edge scientific discovery.
