Biography

Research Project: A New Low-cost Electron Detector for 4-dimensional STEM Measurements.
Supervisors: Dr. Lewys Jones (TCD), Dr. John Labram (UCL)

Megha graduated with a Master of Science (by research) in Physics from the University of York, UK in April 2023. Her research was based on the annealing study in the oxygen environment of Iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni) thin films. The study focused on the Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) growth and structural studies of metal-metal oxide magnetic thin films, using JEOL 2010 Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), JEOL 7800F Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Being a part of the Ultramicroscopy group in TCD, her PhD will focus on designing and building a low-cost alternative 4D camera for 4-dimensional STEM Measurements using repurposed Si photomultiplier arrays.

I really enjoyed my time as a member of the CDT-ACM. It provided the opportunity to gain experience with a wide range of materials characterisation techniques and to engage with the wider research community by participating in conferences and Outreach events.
