Applications of Microscopy in Materials and Life Sciences / Springer Proceedings in Materials Bd.11 (PDF)

Scientist at Sandia National Lab. He had earlier held visiting positions at LANL, Chalmers, NIMS in Tsukuba, Bristol University, Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart, the Institute for Physical Chemistry in Hanover and the Ernst Ruska Center in Jülich. He has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Award. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Materials Science, a journal cited more than 55,099 times in 2019 and 2 million downloads in 2020. His research interests focus on the application of different microscopies to understand how the structure and chemistry of materials determine their properties and behavior. He works on several projects including a study of the deformation of Ta and its growth in thin-film form, electrospinning of TiO2, lithiation of nanomaterials, especially Sn whiskers and MoS2, for battery applications, and how the crystallization dynamics control the properties of phase-change materials.



Dr. Rajdeep Sarkar is a scientist at the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL), Hyderabad, India. He received his Bachelor of Engineering (Metallurgy) degree from the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Durgapur in 2003. He completed his M.Tech. and Ph.D. degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur in 2005 and 2015, respectively. His area of specialization includes structural and sub-structural characterization (using TEM and related techniques) of materials, like titanium alloys, super alloys, tungsten alloys and nano-materials, along with structure-property correlation. He is life member of the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM), Electron Microscope Society of India (EMSI) and Materials Research Society of India (MRSI). He has currently a credential of 64 publications in peer-reviewed international journals.



Dr. K. R. Vinothkumar is a Structural Biologist and Biochemist based at National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bengaluru, India. He pursued his Ph.D. in Membrane protein structural biology from Max-Planck Institute of Biophysics, Frankfurt. Dr. Vinothkumar subsequently joined the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, where he was associated with Dr. Richard Henderson, a pioneer in the field of electron cryomicroscopy. In 2017, he joined National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bengaluru, where his lab research interests spans from macromolecular complexes in signalling to enzymes involved in bioremediation. In addition, Dr. Vinothkumar also directs the National CryoEM facility housed in the Institute of Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine, which along with NCBS is part of the Bangalore Life Science campus.
