Atom Probe Reconstruction & Data Analysis Workshop

Topics include:

  • An overview of contemporary APT reconstruction approaches;
  • Limitations and artifacts due to the implementation of the present techniques (delegates are encouraged to present examples of reconstruction artifacts);
  • Practical approaches for the optimisation of current reconstruction methodologies;
  • New algorithms and potential new approaches to reconstruction;
  • An overview of current APT computational characterisation tools;
  • Data analysis: innovative algorithms for new nanostructural insight from APT data interrogation (delegates are encouraged to discuss/present novel data analysis algorithms and strategies for characterising APT results).

Anyone with an interest in learning more about these critical research problems and contributing to the discourse is most cordially invited to attend.

Bursaries are not available as all attendees are expected to cover their own costs. The workshop will be held in the scenic Hydro Majestic Hotel, surrounded by the Blue Mountains National Park approximately 50 km west of Sydney. Accommodation, breakfast, dinner and venue fee will cost around $600 per person. To maintain the workshop as an informal and intimate collaborative gathering, numbers are limited, so be sure to express your interest as early as possible.
