CAMECA celebrated Women & Girls in Science all throughout the month of February!
Many thanks again to the three passionate women scientists from diverse horizons, all three addressing key challenges in today’s world who took part in our webinar series/
All presentations are now available on line.
Karen Wright, Idaho National Laboratory, USA
Electron Probe Microanalysis of Irradiated Nuclear Materials: Challenges and Solutions
💻 VIEW ONLINE
Recipient of two US patents and an R&D 100 award for her work in developing industrial radioactive decontamination methods, Karen has set up facilities and methods to analyze irradiated nuclear fuel using the first modern shielded electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) available to the scientific community in the United States. Her research has focused on quantifying the fission product distribution of tristructural isotropic (TRISO) nuclear fuels and quantifying component migration and secondary phase formation in metallic transmutation and fast reactor fuels.
The webcast was moderated by Anne-Sophie Robbes, Product Manager at CAMECA
Cécile Becquart, Astra Zeneca, Sweden
Improving the targeting of Antisense oligonucleotide therapeutic by NanoSIMS sub-cellular imaging
💻 VIEW ONLINE
Cécile received her Ph.D from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) in 2023 where she delved into NanoSIMS and drug trafficking, by contributing to the development of a NanoSIMS approach to measure the concentration of drugs within subcellular compartments. She has gained a broad expertise in biochemistry and is the author / co-author of several publications dealing with intracellular quantification of drugs. Cécile is currently a Posdotoral Fellow at AstraZeneca investigating the in-vitro stability and biotransformation of oligonucleotides therapeutics in different biological matrices.
The webcast was moderated by Céline Defouilloy, NanoSIMS Application Engineer at CAMECA.
Gina Greenidge, National Physics Laboratory, UK
Lithium-ion battery research with NanoSIMS
💻 VIEW ONLINE
Gina received her PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, where she was a Louis M. Brown Engineering fellow and a member of the Edward A. Bouchet Honor Society. She is now Higher Scientist at the National Centre of Excellence in Mass Spectrometry Imaging group at NPL, the UK’s National Metrology Institute., where she utilizes the NanoSIMS for a large variety of applications: researching environmental friendly fertilizers, investigating the role of vitamin B5 on cancer proliferation, and more!
The webcast was moderated by Céline Defouilloy, NanoSIMS Application Engineer at CAMECA.
Our moderators:
Anne-Sophie Robbes, Manager Product SIMS-EPMA at CAMECA
After obtaining her Ph.D. in composite materials at the Synchrotron Soleil and the French Neutron facility (LLB, CEA Saclay), Anne-Sophie Robbes joined CAMECA in 2012 as an Application Engineer on the EPMA tool (LEXES) dedicated to the semiconductor field. In 2016, she was appointed Product Manager forall EPMA product lines including SKAPHIA. Since 2022 she has also been responsible for Semiconductor SIMS instruments.
Céline Defouilloy, Applications Engineer at CAMECA
Since 2018, CélineDefouilloy has servedas an application engineer at. CAMECA, specializing in LG-SIMS and NanoSIMS applications. She initially familiarized herself with a SIMS instrument during her PhD, employing an IMS 3f to study iron meteorites. She then joined the WiscSIMS National Facility for Stable Isotope Geochemistry applying Large-Geometry SIMS to a varietay of cosmochemical studies.Throughout her earlier career as a cosmochemical scientist, she collaborated with NASA on the analysis of dust materials from the comet Wild 2 retrieved by the Stardust mission.
