Renu Sharma, Ph.D. (she/her/hers)

NIST Emeritus Fellow
National Institute of Standards and Technology
National Institute of Standards and technology
Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States

Dr. Renu Sharma retired from a Project Leader position at NIST in 2019 and has been working as a research associate in Materials Measurement Laboratory at NIST where she is now an Emeritus NIST Fellow. She received a B.S. and B.Ed. in Physics and Chemistry from Panjab University, India, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Solid State Chemistry from the University of Stockholm, Sweden, where she had a Swedish Institute Fellowship. Renu joined the CNST at NIST in 2009, coming from Arizona State University (ASU), where she began as a Faculty Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Center for Solid State Science, and as a Senior Research Scientist in the LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science thereafter. She was aslo an affiliated faculty member in the School of Materials and Department of Chemical Engineering. Renu has been a pioneer in the development of environmental scanning transmission electron microscopy (E(S)TEM), combining atomic-scale dynamic imaging with chemical analysis to probe gas-solid reactions. She has applied this powerful technique to characterize the atomic-scale mechanisms underlying the synthesis and reactivity of nanoparticles (including catalysts), nanotubes, nanowires, ceramics, semiconductors, and superconductor materials. Renu has received a Bronze Medal of Service from Department of Commerce for developing new measurement techniques, Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) Faculty Research Fellowship, is past President of the Arizona Imaging and Microanalysis Society, and has given over 80 invited presentations, published one book, titled "in situ transmaission electron microscopy experiments: design and proctice", 3 book chapters and over 180 research articles and serves on the editorial board of' Nanomaterials'. At the NIST, Renu established an advanced E(S)TEM measurement capabilities that combines Raman spectroscopy with electron diffraction, electron spectroscopy and high-resolution imaging, for nanoscience research and contributing her research expertise to the ongoing research in the E(S)TEM lab.
