Editors¶

Colin Ophus is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University, and a Center Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy. He was formerly a staff scientist at the National Center for Electron Microscopy, part of the Molecular Foundry, at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. He researches experimental methods, reconstruction algorithms, and data analysis for S/TEM. He has received a US DOE Early Career award (2018) and was awarded the Burton Medal from the Microscopy Society of America (2022). He is project leader for the Prismatic STEM simulation and py4DSTEM open-source codes. He is the founding editor-in-chief for Elemental Microscopy. Email Website

Georgios Varnavides is a Miller Fellow postdoctoral researcher working at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. His research interests lie in developing new computational imaging modalities to observe the structure and function of materials at high resolution and sensitivity. He is one of the core developers of the phase-retrieval modules in the py4DSTEM open-source code. He is the technology editor for Elemental Microscopy, with extensive experience in using web-based open-source tools for pedagogy and science-communication. Email Website

She is a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America and of the American Ceramic Society, and is a member of the World Academy of Ceramics. Email

Technology¶

The Elemental Microscopy journal was developed by the Curvenote team and built with open source MyST Markdown components.

Rowan Cockett is the CEO and co-founder of Curvenote, which is an interactive, online writing and publishing platform for science, with dedicated integrations to Jupyter. Rowan is a core developer of MyST Markdown and has a Ph.D. in computational geophysics from the University of British Columbia (UBC) where he worked on large-scale simulation and parameter estimation package for geophysical processes (electromagnetics, fluid-flow, gravity, etc.).

The larger Curvenote team including Steve Purves, Franklin Koch, and Mike Morrison have been in involved in the design and development of Elemental Microscopy.

Open Source Technologies¶

This journal leverages the vast ecosystem of open source software, especially Python, NumPy, SciPy, IPyWidgets, Jupyter, JupyterBook, and MyST Markdown.
