Diamond Light Source Seminar: Celebrating John Rodenburg
Diamond Light Source is pleased to invite you to a special scientific seminar celebrating John Rodenburg.
Join us for a joyful afternoon of reflections on the impact of the scientific contributions of Professor John Rodenburg FRS throughout his career.
Date: Monday 24th March
Time: 12:30 – 15:30 GMT
John is internationally recognised for his work revolutionising microscopic imaging using visible light, electrons and especially X-rays. The Ptychography method permits imaging beyond the limitations of conventional optics and is now employed today at synchrotrons around the globe for X-ray imaging with ultimate resolution.
He studied at the University of Cambridge as a Royal Society Fellow, during which he undertook pioneering studies in electron ptychography. After moving to the University of Sheffield, he made essential contributions to the X-ray community. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2019.
This event will explore various episodes of John’s scientific career and the scientific developments resulting from his pioneering work.
