James is a Research Facility Manager in the Department of Materials, specialising in Atom Probe Tomography (APT). His responsibilities include helping run the Imperial Centre for Cryo Microscopy of Materials (I(CM)2)with specific responsibility for the Cameca Local Electrode Atom Probe (LEAP) 5000X R. He is responsible for training students and staff on the instrument, atom probe data analysis and associated sample preparation and complementary microscopy.
His areas of expertise also include Focused Ion Beam (FIB) sample preparation,scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD). He is also involved in developing process flows for complementary transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and APT analysis of materials using cryo and vacuum transfer between instruments.
Prior to his current role, James was the Atom Probe Scientist for the National Nuclear User Facility (NNUF) Nuclear Materials Atom Probe (NuMAP) at the University of Oxford.
He completed his Materials DPhil titled “Atom probe tomography analysis of near surface, low concentration impurities in single crystal silicon” at the University of Oxford (2017) under the supervision of Professor Michael Moody and Dr Paul Bagot and carried out post-doctoral work there on radiation damage in structural nuclear steels as part of the Oxford Atom Probe Group.
