Dr Ali Mostaed

Ali has been working on the characterization of materials in the atomic and sub-atomic scale by advanced (scanning) transmission electron microscopy, (S)TEM. Ali is developing new scientific techniques using state-of-the-art instrumentation including a leading role in the use of the chromatically and spherically corrected transmission electron microscopes at the Rosalind Franklin Institute. Additionally, he serves as an academic visitor and lecturer at the University of Oxford. Before joining the Franklin, Ali was working as a Research Associate in Quantitative (S)TEM and Phasing Methods at the University of Oxford.

Ali completed his PhD in Physics at the University of Warwick, UK. Prior to his PhD studies, he also completed his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees both in Materials Science and Engineering in Iran at Isfahan University of Technology and K.N. Toosi University of Technology, respectively.
