Dr Ian MacLaren graduated with a BSc hons. in Physics from the University of Birmingham in the UK in 1991. He followed this with a PhD in Metallurgy and Materials from the same institution in 1995, specifically working on the structure of grain boundaries in hexagonal close packed metals. Since then, he has done postdocs in Birmingham and Chalmers Tekniska Högskola in Sweden, a year as a visiting scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, a year as a Humboldt Stipendiat in the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart, a stint as a Senior Research Fellow at TU Darmstadt before taking up a lectureship at the University of Glasgow in 2004. He has since then been promoted to Senior Lecturer and Reader. His work has concentrated on using electron microscopy and related techniques to study the structure and chemistry of materials at the nano- and atomic- scale. In recent years, he has been particularly focused on the use of pixelated detectors in STEM imaging and scanned diffraction techniques, and the application thereof to quantitative materials characterisation.
