Dr Shelly Conroy, from the Department of Materials, has been awarded the K. F. J. Heinrich Award by The Microanalysis Society.
The annual award recognises scientists with less than 15 years from their terminal degree in the field who have made distinguished technical contributions to the field of microanalysis.
Dr Conroy has been recognised for her technical microscopy accomplishments in correlative in-situ TEM and educational and professional activities in the field of microanalysis.
Commenting on the award, she said, "I am deeply honoured to receive this award from MAS, especially knowing the previous award winners, who are my microscopy heroes.
I'm so grateful to the society for their continuing support and the wonderful microscopy staff and students around the world I'm privilege to work with."
