See who contributes to the EM Glossary

The EM Glossary is a community-driven collaboration of scientists and domain experts from electron microscopy together with experts from the fields of metadata and information engineering. With our combined expertise we work to provide high quality, harmonized, well implemented, and stable terminology for electron microscopy. Check out who contributed below!

Main Contributors

Dr. Volker Hofmann

Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5149-603X

Terms Contribution Count: 53

Volker works with a team of software developers, metadata stewards and information scientists at the interface of research data management and information systems engineering towards metadata harmonization and semantic interoperability in science.

Dr. Markus Wollgarten

Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH - https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2285-9329

Terms Contribution Count: 37

Markus is a physicists from the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH where he is heading the Corelab for Correlative Microscopy and Spectroscopy. He is doing all sorts of electron and ion microscopies ever since his diploma thesis quite some time ago. His current interests cover methods around the recently introduced direct electron detectors which he employs for research on energy materials. He thinks that research data management is key to sustainable scientific work.

Dr. Peter Konijnenberg

Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1278-4928

Terms Contribution Count: 51

Being a materials scientist, the focus of Peter's work experience is centered around materials informatics as well as materials characterization hardware development. Firmly rooted in the field of electron microscopy, his former positions have been either within academia (RWTH-Aachen University and Max-Planck-Institute Düsseldorf) or the electron microscopy analyzers industry (Oxford Instruments and Bruker Nano Analytics). In broad outlines, his main areas of interest are: electron- and X-ray diffraction (amongst which notably (3D)-EBSD), computational materials science, applied crystallography and texture research, tomography and 3D visualization, as well as detector- and in-situ hardware development. While connected to the IAS-9 of Juelich Research Center (FZJ), he is currently mainly focusing on machine learning methods for electron microscopy.

Prof. Dr. Cécile Hébert

École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7086-1901

Terms Contribution Count: 16

Cécile leads the laboratory for electron spectroscopy and microscopy at EPFL, focusing on advancing electron microscopy techniques. Her research areas include quantitative chemical analysis and imaging in transmission electron microscopy supported by advanced machine learning tools.

Dr. Ing. Markus Kühbach

FAIRmat consortium - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7117-5196

Terms Contribution Count: 54

Is a metallurgist with a background in research on characterization and modeling of microstructure evolution during annealing phenomena using methods from physical metallurgy, computational geometry, computational materials science, and data/information science. As a PI in the FAIRmat consortium of the German National Research Data Infrastructure as well as an active member of the NFDI-MatWerk consortium, Markus develops open-source software and metadata schemas. These have a focus on the research fields and scientific communities of electron microscopy, atom probe, as well as integrated computational materials engineering.

Prof. Dr. Rasmus R. Schröder

Universitätsklinikum, Universität Heidelberg, BioQuant - https://orcid.org/0009-0008-6410-7217

Terms Contribution Count: 21

Rasmus is an expert in cryo-electron microscopy who extended his work in recent years into the field of volume electron microscopy and the 3D visualisation of structured organic nanomaterials. His current focus is on methods development and new microscopies.

Dr. Özlem Özkan

Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH - https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1965-7996

Terms Contribution Count: 15

Özlem works as the Training Officer at Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration in Berlin, focusing on FAIR data practices and metadata standardization to enhance research reproducibility and data accessibility. She has been actively working in the research data management field since 2020. She holds a PhD in Medical Informatics, with research focused on health and genetic data protection.

Dr.-Ing. Christoph Pauly
