Probing Magnetic Topologies with Corrected Lorentz STEM

Shelly Conroy

Lecturer in Functional Thin Films and Microscopy, Department of Materials - Faculty of Engineering, The Conroy group at Imperial

Dr. Conroy is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and lecturer in functional thin films and microscopy specializing in in-situ TEM, 4D-STEM, and EELS. The Conroy group at Imperial designs quantum and energy materials at the atomic scale using electron and atom probe microscopy techniques.

Her group is part of the new cryo-microscopy facility for engineering and physical sciences at Imperial and the Royce Imperial “Atoms to Devices” thin film growth facility. In 2019, Dr. Conroy was awarded an SFI Industry Research PI grant with Analog Devices.

She has previously held positions at University of Limerick and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. She holds a PhD in AlN thin film growth for optoelectronic device applications, FIB sample preparation for TEM, and in-situ TEM from Tyndall National Institute and University College Cork Ireland.
