Research interests
I am an electron microscopy (EM) specialist having previously worked for manufacturers of electron microscopes and EM accessories in development, training, demonstrator, application specialist and commercial roles.
I received a Wellcome University award to bring my technical experience to the benefit of the research needs of the university, based in the Wolfson BioImaging Facility.
My specialisms are EM tomography, Cryo EM and Scanning EM and Scanning Transmission EM.
