The workshop brought together over 100 participants from 11 countries and 3 continents. In numerous presentations and intensive discussions, current developments, open questions and future strategies in the field of AI-supported electron microscopy were discussed - with a particular focus on in situ TEM, automated data processing and new methods for material analysis.
The event kicked off with the award ceremony and the prizewinner's presentation “Building Autonomous Electron Microscopist: It's all about the Rewards”. The program was complemented by contributions from leading international scientists, including Odile Stéphan, Quentin Ramasse, Christoph Koch and Ian MacLaren.
The workshop also featured a poster session where a poster prize - sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific and DENSsolutions - was awarded to Dr. Tolga Wagner from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin for outstanding research on “Approaching Picosecond Temporal Resolution in Off-Axis Electron Holography”. In addition, guided tours of the Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) and the Berlin-Adlershof Center for Advanced Microscopy (BeAM) were offered, giving participants exclusive insights into state-of-the-art laboratories and measurement technologies.
The workshop showed how central the interdisciplinary exchange between microscopy and artificial intelligence is for the further development of modern materials science.
We would like to thank all participants for their dedicated participation and contributions!
