About
Steven Trimnell is a leading figure in synchrotron X-ray crystallography, with a primary focus on advancing instrumentation for small-molecule single-crystal diffraction. His most notable contribution is the development of a novel dual air-bearing fixed-χ diffractometer for beamline I19 at Diamond Light Source, detailed in his highly cited 2017 paper (67 citations). This innovative design enables rapid data collection by integrating a Dectris Pilatus 2M pixel-array photon-counting detector, while also supporting remote operation—a critical feature for modern, high-throughput synchrotron facilities. Trimnell’s work has significantly enhanced the efficiency and accessibility of small-molecule structure determination, impacting fields from materials science to pharmaceutical research. By pushing the boundaries of diffractometer engineering, he has helped establish new standards for beamline performance, making him a key contributor to the UK’s synchrotron science community.
