Michael Zachman is a Staff Scientist in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He received his B.S. in Physics from Purdue University in 2012 and his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Cornell University in 2018. Michael’s research interests lie in advancing electron microscopy techniques to provide an understanding of the structure and properties of energy and quantum materials down to the atomic scale. His doctoral work concentrated on developing cryogenic focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (cryo-STEM) techniques to study processes at solid-liquid interfaces at high resolution with liquids and reactive materials intact. Michael's postdoctoral research focused on developing and applying four-dimensional STEM techniques to battery and two-dimensional materials to access to new aspects of their structure at nanometer and atomic scales. As a staff scientist, Michael has worked to advance hydrogen generation and conversion materials through techniques such as these in combination with automation strategies to increase the robustness and reliability of generated results.
