Biography:

Dr. Daniel Antonio is a postdoctoral physicist with experience in extreme conditions research. He maintained and routinely used multiple types of diamond anvil cells adapted for high pressure and conducted low-temperature synchrotron X-ray experiments up to 50 GPa. He has experience loading diamond anvil cells with oxygen and water-sensitive samples in a glovebox; assembling and loading piston clamp cells for use in electronic transport measurements up to 3 GPa in a quantum design PPMS and various other cryostats; and acting as a primary coordinator and operator for a QD PPMS with heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility, electronic transport, and thermal transport options.

Dr. Antonio participated in experiments at various synchrotron beamlines at the Advanced Photon Source in Argonne National Laboratory and the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as well as pulsed field measurements at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has performed various techniques under high pressure, including: PowderX-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence, and resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering. He has worked with many different types of samples, including: unsealed radioactive sources, unconventional superconductors, geometrically frustrated pyrochlores, heavy fermion materials, and depleted uranium compounds.
