About

I am Bixente Rey (TXO). I have a 30+ years professional career in the field of software for control of beamlines in synchrotron facilities.

I have worked for most of my career at the ESRF where I have enjoyed the challenge of controlling and collecting data for all of its beamlines.

For 10 years now I have worked as independent consultant for instrumentation, beamline control and data management for synchrotrons, labs and instrumentation companies.

I was honored to see our leading efforts on beamline automation at the ESRF recognized by receiving, on behalf of my group, the Innovation Award on Synchrotron Radiation by the Helmholtz-Zentrum in Berlin.
