Biography
My research centres on the applications and development of high-resolution electron microscope techniques, in particular diffraction based electron microscopy, including:3D-Electron Diffraction Techniques (3DED) Including MicroED
4 dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM)
Ptychography
Large Angle Rocking Beam Electron Diffraction (LARBED)
Digital-Electron Diffraction (D-ED)
With their application to characterisation electron beam sensitive materials such as pharmaceuticals organics, and in situ electron experiments.
Our technique development work includes the application of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to electron microscopy, with a view to enabling TEM to become a more Metrological science, with high reproducibility and quantitative data for measurements of the atomic and electronic structure of materials.
We develop methods and software which adheres to the FAIR principles, and enables TEM to become and more open science.
