Prof Chris Hawes HonFRMS
RMS Executive Honorary Secretary
Oxford Brookes University
Chris Hawes is Professor of Plant Cell Biology and Research Lead and Head of the Doctoral Training Programme in the Department of Biological and Medical Sciences at Oxford Brookes University. He runs a research group looking at the structure and function of the higher plant secretory pathway concentrating on the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Much of the work is based around the expression of fluorescent proteins and confocal live cell imaging, although more recently the group have been using EM tomography to look at Golgi biogenesis. Chris also teaches undergraduate courses in Cell Biology, runs the School BioImaging suite and manages a small microscopy consultancy. Chris has been a member of the RMS for many years and has been on the organising committee of the last 5 International Botanical Microscopy meetings and sat on various mmc-series committees. Chris is also a Scientific Editor of the Journal of Microscopy. -
Professor Beverley Inkson
University of Sheffield
Beverley is Professor of Nanomaterials in The Dept of Materials Science and Engineering at The University of Sheffield, where she leads the NanoLAB Centre. Beverley joined the RMS as a PhD student in Electron Microscopy at Cambridge University, and served on the RMS EM section committee while a Royal Society University Research Fellow. She set up the UK NanoFIB network in 2001, and has run numerous Focused Ion Beam scientific meetings joint with the RMS. Beverley’s research interests focus on the use of electron and ion microscopies to quantify the nanomechanical and functional properties of 3D nanomaterials, including developing novel in-situ SPM-TEM and tomographic characterisation methods. -

Prof Peter Nellist
University of Oxford
Pete Nellist is a Professor in the Department of Materials, and a Tutorial Fellow at Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford. He leads a research group that focuses on the applications and development of high-resolution electron microscope techniques, in particular scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), including atomic resolution Z-contrast imaging, ptychography, electron energy-loss and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and applications of spherical aberration correctors. Pete gained his PhD from the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Since then he has worked in academia and in the commercial world in the UK, USA and Republic of Ireland. In 2007 he was awarded the Burton Medal by the Microscopy Society of America for exceptional contributions to microscopy, and in 2013 the Ernst Ruska Prize of the German Microscopy Society. In addition to being Vice-President of the Royal Microscopical Society he is also a Board Member of the European Microscopy Society.
