EBSD 2023

Luke Daly

School of Geographical and Earth Sciences, University of Glasgow

Luke Daly is a Lecturer in Planetary Geoscience at the University of Glasgow. He looks at the very small to get at the very big by applying correlative microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction on extra-terrestrial rocks in order to understand what the Solar System's environment was like before there were planets, how asteroids form and evolve, how habitable worlds are made and how Mars' has evolved over time. He is on the science team for JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission to the asteroid Ryugu and Treasurer of the UK Fireball alliance that successfully recovered the Winchcombe meteorite in 2021 - The first meteorite to be recovered in the UK for 30 years.

Jack Donoghue

Henry Royce Institute, Department of Materials, The University of Manchester, UK

Jack Donoghue is an technical specialist based at the Department of Materials in the University of Manchester with expertise in electron microscopy and its analytical techniques. A focus of his PhD (the University of Manchester, 2016) was the development of high temperature in situ EBSD to assist the understanding of grain refinement in additive manufacturing processes with titanium alloys.  Jack leads the development of a number of novel techniques at Manchester including the fs-laser PFIB for large 3D datasets, a high throughput system for large-sample/multi-sample EBSD/EDS analysis, and the TANIST project for the automation of in situ experiments.

Szilvia Kalacska

Laboratoire Georges Friedel (CNRS), MINES St-Etienne, France

Dr. Szilvia Kalacska, physicist. During her PhD, she was working on a novel method to calculate the total dislocation density from HR-EBSD measurements. After her PhD in 2018 (Eötvös University, Hungary), she joined Empa (Swiss Federal Labs for Materials Science and Technology, Thun, Switzerland) as a post-doctoral research fellow to develop a focused ion beam tomography technique (3D HR-EBSD) on deformed micron sized samples. In 2021, she obtained her current position as a CNRS Researcher at Laboratoire Georges Friedel (Saint-Étienne, France), where she is now building her micromechanics/HR-EBSD research group. She focuses on in situ micromechanical testing in extreme conditions (during ultra-fast deformations) and in the presence of hydrogen, using various SEM and synchrotron based analytical methods.
