About

Dr. Elizabeth Kajiya is a materials scientist specializing in ion beam analysis techniques, with a particular focus on the development and application of external beam lines for non-destructive elemental mapping. Her major contribution lies in advancing multi-technique analytical setups that integrate Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), Particle Induced Gamma-ray Emission (PIGE), and particle detection for large-area compositional studies. Her most cited work, "Large areas elemental mapping by ion beam analysis techniques" (2015), demonstrates the versatility of the Laboratory for Material Analysis with Ion Beams (LAMFI) external beam line, enabling simultaneous, high-sensitivity mapping across extended sample surfaces. While her citation count is modest, her work is foundational for researchers in archaeometry, environmental science, and materials characterization who require robust, non-destructive methods for spatially resolved elemental analysis. Dr. Kajiya’s contributions are particularly valued for their practical impact on cultural heritage studies and industrial quality control, where preserving sample integrity is paramount. Her research continues to refine ion beam methodologies, making complex multi-elemental mapping more accessible and reliable for the scientific community.
