Research interests

My research concentrates on using electron microscopy to study the structure and chemistry of materials and devices at the nanoscale and below.

Current research mainly uses either:

Quantitative electron energy loss spectroscopy including DualEELS and ultra-high energy loss spectroscopy
and/or
Scanned diffraction and 4D-STEM using fast, pixelated, direct electron detectors

These techniques are applied to a wide range of topics and materials including functional oxides, high-strength steels, optical coatings for high precision interferometry, infrared semiconductor devices, and mineral alteration in terrestrial and extraterrestrial processes.

Research interests

My research concentrates on using electron microscopy to study the structure and chemistry of materials and devices at the nanoscale and below.

Current research mainly uses either:

These techniques are applied to a wide range of topics and materials including functional oxides, high-strength steels, optical coatings for high precision interferometry, infrared semiconductor devices, and mineral alteration in terrestrial and extraterrestrial processes.
