Dr. Raúl Bolmaro is Full Professor at the National University of Rosario, Argentina (UNR) and Principal Researcher at the National Council of Research (CONICET). Currently is the Director of the Rosario Physics Institute. His fields of interest were developed during several post-doc and visiting Scholarships at Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA) and as DAAD and Fulbright Fellowships. An early training in texture development took him the whole way from diffraction analysis, either by x-rays, neutrons and synchrotron radiation, to micro and mesoscopic characterization of materials by EBSD. Currently he applies all those techniques to a wide span of materials and phenomena, including metals, ceramics and bio-materials.
Hidden morphology in bio-mineralized tissues and structures by EBSD analysis Wednesday @ 3:15 PM
Marie A. Charpagne is an assistant professor in the Materials Science department at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. She received her PhD from Mines ParisTech in 2016 and then spent five years at UC Santa Barbara focusing on 3D materials science. She develops data merging routines that aim at digitizing experimental microstructures and extract statistical and non-human biased correlations, in the aim to elucidate the processing-microstructure-property linkage in materials for extreme environments.
New insights on microstructure-properties relationship using correlative 3D EBSD measurements Tuesday @ 1:10 PM
Maggie did her BSc degree in Cell Biology at the University of Glasgow and her PhD in Protein Biochemistry at the University of Liverpool. Continuing protein research, Maggie began multidisciplinary work, moving to Geosciences at the University of Glasgow. She was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship where she established a research group in biominerals. Since then her research has focussed on biominerals and includes using a range of e-beam techniques such as electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to understand biological control of mineral formation and environmental impact on marine biominerals. As well as research and teaching commitments, she was Associate Dean for the Faculty of Physical Sciences Graduate School, International Lead for the College of Science & Engineering and Head of School of Geographical & Earth Sciences. In 2017 Maggie joined the University of Stirling as Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. In 2018, she completed the Senior Executive Programme of the London Business School. Maggie was awarded the Saltire Society’s Scottish Science Award in 2008, elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2011 and, in 2017, she was awarded the Schlumberger Medal by the Mineralogical Society. On 1st January 2021, Maggie took up the role of Inaugural President of MTU.
Understanding biominerals, as easy as EBSD Tuesday @ 3:00 PM
Lionel studies solid state phase transformations in metals, mainly in steels and titanium alloys. For this purpose, he makes an intensive use of EBSD measurements. In particular, based on the pioneering work of M. Humbert and N. Gey, he has developed several tools to process and analyze EBSD data, among which the reconstruction of the parent phase before transformation is the best known. More recently, he has started to integrate artificial intelligence based algorithms to process EBSD data.
