About
Dr. Paul Hathaway is a leading figure in synchrotron X-ray crystallography, with a primary focus on advancing instrumentation for small-molecule single-crystal diffraction. His most significant 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, which integrates a Dectris Pilatus 2M pixel-array photon-counting detector, dramatically enhances data collection speed and enables remote operation—a critical advancement for high-throughput and automated crystallography. By overcoming traditional mechanical limitations, Hathaway’s work has set a new standard for synchrotron beamline efficiency, directly impacting researchers in chemistry, materials science, and pharmaceuticals who rely on rapid, precise structural determination. His engineering achievements not only streamline experimental workflows but also expand access to synchrotron facilities, cementing his reputation as a key innovator in the field of X-ray diffraction instrumentation.
