Tina Bergh

Department of Chemical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

Dr Tina Bergh is a postdoctoral fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway, who specialises in electron microscopy characterisation of various materials, from catalysts to precipitates in aluminium alloys. During her PhD at NTNU she focused on intermetallic phases in aluminium-steel welds. She uses scanning precession electron diffraction, primarily for phase and orientation mapping, and develops data analysis routines together with the TEM Gemini Centre at NTNU. Characterisation using focused ion beam – scanning electron microscopy and in situ electron microscopy methods are also amongst her key research interests.

Dr Jochen Bruckbauer

Department of Physics, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow

Dr Jochen Bruckbauer is a Research Fellow in the Advanced Materials Diffraction Lab in the Department of Physics, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. He specialises in advanced electron microscopy and optical spectroscopy for the characterisation of semiconductors, with particular interest in novel nitride semiconductors and their nano- and microstructures. He has extensive expertise in electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI) for high-resolution, high-sensitivity structural analysis of semiconductors and their extended defects. His work integrates correlated measurement techniques, such as cathodoluminescence hyperspectral imaging, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electron beam-induced current (EBIC).

Daniel Abou-Ras

Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie

Dr. Daniel Abou-Ras is a group leader for electron microscopy at the Helmholtz Center Berlin for Materials and Energy, Germany, and working in the field of transmission and scanning electron microscopy for more than 20 years. In addition, he is also lecturer at TU Berlin and at HU Berlin. He has specialized in applying various scanning microscopy techniques including EBSD in a correlative manner on materials for solar-energy conversion. His research focus is on microscopic structure-property relationships, which includes, e.g., the role of grain boundaries and dislocations on the device performance of solar cells.

Zoja Vukmanovic

University of East Anglia

Zoja Vukmanovic is a Lecturer in Geology and Georesources at the University of East Anglia. She applies a macro-to-micro approach to solve fundamental problems in igneous petrology and related ore deposits. Zoja combines textural and microstructural analyses (EBSD) with geochemistry and field observation to understand the cooling of large magma bodies, their emplacement, and subsequent subsolidus processes that affect these bodies. Her research also focuses on the role of magma dynamics in the concentration of mineral deposits. For years, she worked on the largest platinum deposit in the world, the Bushveld Complex in South Africa.
