Research summary
AI-generated

Bryan D. Esser's work focuses on advanced electron microscopy methods, particularly 4D scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM), to study the atomic-scale structure and composition of materials such as metal alloys, nanoparticles, and nanorods. This includes developing new imaging and data-analysis techniques (including machine learning approaches) to locate individual atoms and characterize tiny structural features like precipitates in alloys or interfaces in nanoparticles. The research sits at the intersection of materials science and electron microscopy methodology, despite being broadly categorized under biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology.
