DESCRIPTION:Prof. Eli Sutter\, Brookhaven National Laboratory\, NY USA\nTh
 e promise of nanoscience lies in the fact that nanomaterials can show dist
 inct properties that are not simply scaled-down bulk characteristics. Tran
 smission electron microscopy (TEM) provides the necessary spatial resoluti
 on to observe individual nanostructures. Beyond imaging\, TEM can be used 
 to follow the behavior and measure properties of nanostructures over a wid
 e range of environmental conditions. Finally\, the high-energy electron be
 am often represents an invasive probe that can interact strongly with nano
 -objects. Used judiciously\, this property can make it a unique tool for b
 oth activating and tracking processes at the nanoscale.\nI will illustrate
  the power of in-situ imaging\, measurements\, and manipulation in the que
 st to understand the distinct properties of nanomaterials\, their synthesi
 s\, and their transformation via controlled physical and chemical processe
 s at the ultimate size limit.\nBio: Eli Sutter is a Scientist in the Elect
 ron Microscopy Group at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at B
 rookhaven National Laboratory. She received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Cond
 ensed Matter Physics from Sofia University. She then held post doctoral po
 sitions at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and at t
 he University of Wisconsin - Madison. From 2000 till 2004 she was an Assis
 tant Professor (tenure track) in Physics at the Colorado School of Mines. 
 She joined the CFN in 2004 where her research focuses on in-situ transmiss
 ion electron microscopy at variable temperatures and in different environm
 ents\, mechanisms of epitaxial growth and nanostructure formations\, and 2
 -D materials and heterostructures. She received a Scientific American 50 a
 ward for Ultra-measurements in 2007 and the Sapphire Prize in 2011. She ha
 s authored more than 145 scientific publications and holds 4 US Patents. 
  She is co-chair of the International Conference on Nanoscience + Technolo
 gy 2014.
