Bio
Dr. Debangshu Mukherjee is a Research Scientist at the Computational Sciences & Engineering Division (CSED), which he joined in 2021 after finishing his postdoc at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS), ORNL. His research focuses on interfacing high-performance GPGPU computing with electron microscopes, emphasizing microscope automation and rapid high-dimensional data processing. During his postdoctoral research at CNMS, he developed 4D-STEM techniques to map out strain across interfaces and created the STEMTool Python package for analyzing electron microscopy datasets. Before joining ORNL, Debangshu obtained his Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University, where his research focused on using aberration-corrected STEM to measure the structure of ferroelectric domain walls.
