About
Dr. Sarah A. Barnett is a leading figure in chemical crystallography, specializing in the development and application of advanced X-ray diffraction techniques for small-molecule structure determination. Her major contribution lies in the design and implementation of cutting-edge instrumentation at synchrotron facilities. She is best known for her seminal work on the "Novel Dual Air-Bearing Fixed-χ Diffractometer" for Beamline I19 at Diamond Light Source, a highly cited paper (67 citations) that details a revolutionary instrument enabling rapid, remote-operated data collection by integrating a fixed-chi geometry with a Dectris Pilatus 2M detector. This innovation dramatically accelerated the pace of small-molecule single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. Dr. Barnett’s work has had a profound impact on the field, providing the global research community with a powerful, high-throughput tool for structural chemistry. Her achievements underscore her role as a key architect of modern synchrotron beamline capabilities, facilitating breakthroughs in materials science, pharmaceutical development, and fundamental chemistry.
