Overview
I am a PhD student specialising in Electron Microscopy, with specific interests in iDPC-STEM, tomography and Python simulations for imaging and analysis.
I work within the CCI to characterise heterogenous catalysts and nanoparticles with electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, such as EDX and EELS.
