Professor Nigel Browning is the Chair of Electron Microscopy in the School of Engineering and Director of the Albert Crewe Centre for Electron Microscopy at the University of Liverpool. In addition, he is the Director of the £125M UKRI Infrastructure funded Relativistic Ultrafast Electron Diffraction and Imaging (RUEDI) national facility and the Program Chair for the IMC21 Conference to be held in Liverpool in 2026. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Microscopy Society of America (MSA). He received the Burton Award from the Microscopy Society of America in 2002, the Coble Award from the American Ceramic Society in 2003 and a Humboldt Research Award in 2019 for atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). With collaborators at LLNL he also received R&D 100 and Nano 50 Awards in 2008, and a Microscopy Today Innovation Award in 2010 for the development of the dynamic transmission electron microscope (DTEM). He has over 450 refereed publications (~34,100 citations, h-index=101) and has given over 420 invited presentations on the development and application of advanced STEM/TEM methods. He has >15 international patents on the use of Inpainting for quantitative low-dose and high-speed electron microscopy, and is co-founder and chief scientist for SenseAI, a spin-out company currently commercializing these developments.
