About Me

I am a Cryo-Electron Microscopy (CryoEM) Staff Scientist supporting diverse research across structural biology and materials science. I provide expertise in advanced electron microscopy techniques, from sample preparation through to data collection and analysis.

Expertise & Responsibilities

Microscopy techniques: I specialize in Single Particle Analysis (SPA) and Electron Tomography (ET), supporting high-resolution structural studies using cutting-edge workflows.
Instrumentation: I operate and maintain state-of-the-art instruments, including a UCEM's Titan Krios and Glacios microscopes, ensuring optimal performance for a wide range of research applications.
Materials science support: In addition to CryoEM, I support Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) for materials science projects, assisting with imaging and analysis of nanomaterials, interfaces, and structural defects.
User training and collaboration: I provide training and hands-on support to users, collaborating closely with researchers to design experiments, troubleshoot workflows, and interpret complex datasets.

Research Interests

I’m particularly interested in advancing high-resolution CryoEM methodologies, improving reproducibility in structural workflows, and expanding the use of electron microscopy in cross-disciplinary research.
