Andrew Lupini

Bio

Dr. Lupini obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University in the UK, under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Bleloch, in 2001. Dr. Lupini is one of the inventors of the first aberration-corrector in a scanning transmission electron microscope to demonstrate an improved resolution. He is currently a R&D staff member in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. His research interests include all forms of electron microscopy and spectroscopy, especially as applied to new or quantum materials.
