Date/Time: Wed Jan 21 2026 at 14:30<br/><br/>Location: ISAC-II Conf. Room<br/><br/>Speaker: Dr. Ben Britton (UBC - Department of Materials Engineering)<br/><br/>Title: UBC Materials Engineering Characterization Laboratories: Research and Development<br/><br/>Abstract: The Department of Materials Engineering at UBC is at the forefront of advancing our understanding of a wide range of materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. Central to our mission is the Electron Microscopy Facility, where cutting-edge techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB) machining, and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) empower us to deepen our insights and applications of our materials.
Led by the esteemed Dr. Ben Britton, a globally recognized authority in electron diffraction and a pioneering contributor to electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), our Electron Microscopy Facility is poised for significant enhancement. In his upcoming talk, Dr. Britton will explore the potential of multiscale correlative microscopy and share our ambitious plans to upgrade the Electron Microscopy Facility's capabilities. These advancements promise to accelerate groundbreaking research and innovation in the field, making a lasting impact on materials engineering.
