DESCRIPTION:Dr. Katherine Rice\, CAMECA Instruments & Dr. Zeqin Liang\, N
 ovelis\nAtom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful technique for analyzing 
 solid materials and thin films by evaporating ions from the surface using 
 voltage or laser pulses. It combines Time-of-Flight mass spectrometry with
  3D spatial data to create near-atomic resolution models. APT is ideal for
  localized chemical analysis and is used in various fields\, including mat
 erial and nuclear sciences\, semiconductor development\, solar technology\
 , metallurgy\, ceramics\, and grain boundary analysis.\n\n\nAgenda\n\n10:0
 0 - 10:30\nIntroduction to the APT technique by Dr. Katherine Rice\n- Prin

 \nQ&A \n\n11:00 - 11:30\nInformal Discussions\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\nDr. Kather
 ine Rice\, Applications and Market Development Manager at CAMECA Instrumen
 ts in Madison\, WI. She received her PhD in Chemical Engineering from the 
 University of Colorado-Boulder and completed an NRC postdoc at NIST-Boulde
 r before joining CAMECA in 2014. She also obtained her MBA in Marketing fr
 om the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2018.\n\nDr. Zeqin Liang rece
 ived his master’s degree in Materials Engineering from South China Unive
 rsity of Technology and his PhD in Materials Science from TU Berlin. He jo
 ined Novelis\, world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling in 2013. As 
 a Lead Scientist\, Dr. Liang has a thorough expertise in the R&D of alumin
 um alloys covering simulation\, modeling and experiments.
