THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED
A 2-day workshop aimed at current and potential users of in situ sample environments for TEM and X-ray Nanoprobe techniques. The talks and discussions will highlight the practicalities and experimental considerations of these studies and of working with in situ cells. In addition, the ‘hands on’ practical workshop sessions will allow attendees to see the in situ sample environments in action, with demonstrations across TEM and X-ray nanoprobe studies.
Scientific Organisers:
Julia Parker
Julia Parker is the Science Group Leader for Imaging and Microscopy at Diamond Light Source, leading group of 8 instruments using electrons and X-rays to image samples under different experimental conditions across a wide range of length scales and time scales. She joined Diamond in 2007 following completion of her PhD at the University of Cambridge, studying adsorption at the solid-liquid interface using neutron and X-ray scattering techniques. Julia has been involved in the design and operation of physical sciences beamlines at Diamond, most recently the X-ray Nanoprobe enabling nanoscale characterisation of samples across chemistry and catalysis to environmental science, materials science, and biology. Her research interests lie in applying these techniques to biomineral systems to unveil details of their structure and formation, as well as developing in situ environments and techniques to enable correlative microscopies.
Leonardo Lari
University of York and Area Science Park
Leonardo Lari is a Senior Scientist at Area Science Park (Trieste, Italy) , having recently joined the institution after 16 years serving as Research Officer at the York-JEOL Nanocentre and the Physics Engineering and Technology School at the University of York. Leonardo obtained his first degree in Physics from the University of Florence. He then moved to the University of Liverpool in 2005 where he started his PhD studies as a Marie Curie-Skłodowska EU RTN fellow. After obtaining his PhD, he moved to the University of Sheffield for a Post-Doc before joining the University of York as a staff scientist dedicated to the York double aberration corrected in-situ open cell environmental microscopy facility. Leonardo is interested in developing In-situ techniques, correlating materials structure and their properties, in phase transformations of nanomaterials and catalysts redox reactions down to the atomic scale. Since 2008, Leonardo has authored around 70 peer-reviewed publications.
Manfred Schuster
Manfred is Principal Scientist at Johnson Matthey focusing on studying materials relevant for catalysis and energy research. He is responsible for the JMs aberration corrected TEM at Diamond Light Source where he leads JMs research on the in-situ characterisation of heterogeneous catalysts under ambient conditions by means of electron microscopy. Furthermore, he is pursuing multilength scale research combining synchrotron and TEM techniques.
He obtained his PhD in physics in 2010 from the Technical University Berlin and the Fritz-Haber Institute of the Max-Planck Society with a thesis on combining aberration corrected TEM and synchrotron techniques to study of the structure and reactivity of Euro IV/VI soot particles. Before joining JM in 2014, he worked as a project leader at the Fritz-Haber-Institute of the Max-Planck Society in Berlin where his research was focused on electron microscopical characterization of battery materials as well as heterogeneous catalysts.
