2020 EBSD: University of Sheffield April

The University of Sheffield will be hosting the 2020 EDSD from April 21-22, drawing together the whole Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) community from  leading international research scientists and engineers, to early career researchers and students’ to highlight the latest developments, from technique development through to application.

Scientific organisers Prof Brad Wynne, University of Strathclyde and Dr Dikai Guan, University of Sheffield are anticipating contributions that range in scope spanning the geoscience, materials science & engineering and mechanical engineering disciplines, as well as emerging applications from the biological communities. Talks will likely include the latest developments in instrumentation, new software algorithms and new techniques developments, as well as the use of EBSD, transmission Kikuchi diffraction, electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI) and related microscopy modalities.

Optional workshops will also take place on Monday April 20, including the use and understanding of High Resolution High-Resolution Digital Image Correlation (HRDIC) combined with EBSD, an advanced course, delivered by Prof Joao Fonseca’s group at the University of Manchester. A novice course, delivered by Prof Brad Wynne, focusses on understanding what is under the hood of your EBSD software.
