Lynda Amichi is a postodoctoral research associate at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She uses scanning transmission microscopy (STEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to characterize the degradation mechanisms in catalysts and electrodes for low temperature fuel cells and electrolyzers. A key area of her research is the automation of analytical electron tomography towards understanding the impact of catalyst-support interactions on degradation. This research is part of the collaboration with the Department of Energy HFTO, M2FCT, H2NEW, and ElectroCat consortia aimed at enabling hydrogen as an energy carrier.
Lynda received her Bachelor degree in fundamental physics in 2013 and her Masters degree in materials sciences from the Sorbonne University in France in 2015. In 2018, she received her Ph.D. degree in applied physics from the University of Grenoble Alpes in France. Her doctoral research focused on the correlative characterization of p-type doping in gallium nitride alloys by off-axis electron holography in a TEM and atom probe tomography (APT), conducted at the commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), France.
