EMC Report: Tigran Simonian

First and foremost, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the Microscopy Society of Ireland (MSI) for the generous support, which allowed me to attend the 17th European Microscopy Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark.

There was a wonderful range of presentations, ranging from material science, to ptychography, to cryo-EM advances. Held between August 25th – 30th, 2024, EMC 2024 was a great chance to discuss microscopy with researchers from around the world in the lovely Danish sunshine, and to catch up with friends that I’ve made over the course of my studies.

As I am nearing the end of my PhD, it was an excellent oportunity to showcase some of my research that I worked hard on over the years. I presented my work on “thermoelectric structure-property relationship establishment in TlGaSe2” and was delighted by the amount of interest and engaging discussion I had on the topic.

Attending EMC 2024 was an excellent opportunity, which I enjoyed greatly, and I wish to thank MSI again for the support.
