It's the second day of #MC2023. Especially as an early career scientist, you should not miss our #yDGE #symposium later this evening at 18:15 (6:15 pm) in the room vanadium at darmstadtium.
Ph.D. student and expert talks ๐ฅณ
Charles is responsible for the fun stuff by organizing the social and networking events. The events range from virtual coffee meetings to international mixers bringing together young microscopists from the different microscopy societies around the globe.
๐ณ ๐ข ๐
Charles is currently a PhD student at the University of Siegen. His research focuses on the use of advanced EELS and 4D-STEM techniques for complex material characterization (2D-vdW materials). He is enthusiastic about meeting new people and traveling to new places.
