Upcoming Talk at PNNL TechFest 2021

Join me next week for PNNL’s annual TechFest Conference! On July 12th @ 1000 PDT I will be discussing the opportunities for data-guided electron microscopy and its application to grand materials science and chemistry challenges in a talk titled, “A Vision for the Data-Guided Future of Electron Microscopy.”

From the abstract:

Scanning transmission electron microscopy has grown to become a cornerstone of the physical and biological sciences, underpinning some of the most important discoveries about the nature of matter. While decades of development have culminated in a powerful experimental platform, we are now inundated with large volumes of data and constrained by antiquated microscope control architectures that make knowledge extraction difficult. Hidden in this challenge is the opportunity for the community to radically rethink how experiments are planned, executed, interpreted, and shared. Here I will discuss our efforts to reimagine the microscopy platform, leveraging low-level system automation, domain-grounded data pre-processing, and emerging few-shot machine learning methods to rapidly extract statistical information from a variety of systems. I will discuss the current and future potential of this new platform to both unlock experimentation at scale and derive richer, more meaningful physical models for technologically relevant systems.
