Emily Avey joins the group this month as a new master's student. She earned her B.S. in Physics from the University of Oregon in 2025 and brings prior hands-on experience with our autonomous electron microscopy platform, AM³, from an earlier SULI appointment.

Her thesis work will apply autonomous STEM to investigate compositional and structural ordering in nitride materials — a question that bears directly on the electronic and optical properties that make these systems attractive for power electronics and optoelectronics, and one that benefits from the throughput autonomous imaging makes possible.

Welcome, Emily!
