EBSD 2018

10 – 11 April 2018 + Add to calendar Plymouth

Scientific Organiser: Dr Natasha Stephen, University of Plymouth

The annual EBSD meeting has been a fixed event on the RMS calendar for over 20 years and we regularly welcome top academics from the UK, European & Global research community. The meeting will not only highlight recent technological advances in the field of EBSD and related instrumentation, but also showcase their applications to real-world problems in both the science & engineering disciplines.

EBSD is routinely used within Earth & Planetary Sciences, Engineering, Materials Science & Physics, with an emerging interest from the Biological community. The University of Plymouth also successfully engages with enterprise, with many local, national and international companies seeking EBSD expertise in the design/development of new materials & products. EBSD 2018 aims to bring together specialists from across this broad-reaching speciality; academics, business, technicians & students alike.

On Monday afternoon there is an optional workshop taking place, there are two streams to choose from. For further details please visit the Pre-Meeting Workshop tab.

Registration for this meeting has now closed.

Scientific Organiser

Dr Natasha Stephen

University of Plymouth
Natasha is a Lecturer in Advanced Analysis (Earth & Planetary Sciences) within the School of Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences at Plymouth University, and assists with the management & development of Plymouth Electron Microscopy Centre; the university’s flagship, multidisciplinary analytical suite. She completed her PhD at Imperial College London & the Natural History Museum London in 2014, focusing on the geology & surface mineralogy of Mars, and moved to Plymouth University straight afterwards. Natasha’s research focuses primarily on the use of meteorites to ground-truth spacecraft data at Mars (including Mars rovers and orbiters) as well as asteroids (Vesta, Itokawa etc.), by using various non-destructive analytical techniques. Natasha manages the Plymouth Planets research group, is an avid public speaker, heavily engaged in outreach activities, and an active member of the Meteoritical Society & Royal Astronomical Society.
Dr Ralf Hielscher

Technische Universität Chemnitz
Ralf Hielscher has studied Mathematics at the Technische Universität Dresden,Germany and the Lomonosov University in Moscow, Russia. He got introduced to crystallographic texture analysis by his supervisor Helmut Schaeben during his PhD at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. Working on pole figure to ODF inversion and fast Fourier methods on the sphere and the orientation space he accumulated his algorithms into the free and open source Matlab toolbox MTEX. The first public version MTEX 0.3 was released in 2007. Since then, Ralf Hielscher and his coworkers continuously added new functionalities, turning MTEX into one of the most comprehensive toolboxes for quantitative texture analysis. After two years at the Helmholtz Zentrum München Ralf Hielscher is now affiliated at the faculty of Mathematics at the Technische Universität Chemnitz, Germany, and works on mathematical and computational problems in texture analysis.
