9:30-10:15:

Dr. Maria Varela del Arco
Oak Ridge National Laboratory & University Complutense of Madrid, Spain

To the Nanoword…and Beyond!
Electron microscopy is a fast evolving field and new exciting findings can be expected with the advent of recent developments such as spherical aberration correction, monochromated guns or new advances in magnetic imaging techniques such as electron magnetic circular dichroism at the nanometer scale, just to name a few.

10:15-11:00:

Dr. Les Allen
University of Melbourne

The Quest for Quantitative Analytical Microscopy at Atomic Resolution
High coherence and brightness electron guns and monochromators are amongst the latest additions to state-of-the-art aberration-corrected electron microscopes.

11:00-11:15: Morning break

11:15-12:00:

Dr. Tresa Pollock
University of California Santa Barbara

A New Approach to Rapid Acquisition of 3D Materials Data at the Mesoscale: TriBeam Microscopy
The development of high fidelity material property models often requires three-dimensional information on the distribution of phases, grains or extrinsic defects. Concurrently, information on orientation and spatial distribution of elements may also be essential.

12:00-1:00: Lunch

1:00-1:45:

Dr. Marc De Graef
Carnegie Mellon University, Ohio State Visiting Professor

Forward Modeling and Simulations of Electron Modalities
The field of electron microscopy offers a rich variety of experimental modalities, both in scanning and transmission modes.  The recent push for more quantitative analysis of experimental data, in particular in the realm of 3-D microstructural characterization, has made it clear that there is a need for detailed and accurate forward modeling of all experimental modalities.

1:45-2:30:

Professor Rafal Dunin-Borkowski
Institute for Microstructure Research
Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons

New Insight into the Fundamental Physics of Low-Dimensional and Self-Assembled Materials Using Electron Microscopy
Transmission electron microscopy has been revolutionised in recent years, both by the introduction of new hardware such as field-emission electron guns, aberration correctors and in-situ stages and by the development of new techniques, algorithms and software that take advantage of increased computational speed and the ability to control and automate modern electron microscopes.

2:30-2:45: Afternoon break

2:45 -3:30:

Dr. Robert Sinclair
Stanford University

The Stanford Nanocharacterization Laboratory (SNL) and Recent Applications of an Aberration-Corrected ETEM
Twelve years ago or so, Stanford University set up a university-wide multi-user facility for advanced characterization of materials, especially at the nano-scale. The philosophy, operation and business plan of this laboratory, (the “SNL”) will be described with examples of typical results.

4:00-5:00: Graduate Student Poster session at CEMAS, 1305 Kinnear Road

5:00-6:30: BBQ at CEMAS, 1305 Kinnear Road
