Randi Holmestad has been a professor at Department of Physics, NTNU, Trondheim, Norway since 1999. She completed her PhD in materials physics (on quantitative convergent beam electron diffraction) from the same university in 1994. Holmestad's present research interests are focused on materials physics; transmission electron diffraction and microscopy (TEM), materials microstructure and the relations to macroscopic properties. Her research group has high expertise in using advanced TEM techniques to study (aluminium) alloys, using scanning TEM, and different diffraction techniques, including scanning precession electron diffraction (SPED) and convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED). Holmestad has had several sabbaticals abroad, latest at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA, in 2005 and 2012, and at Monash University, Australia for 2 months during fall 2019. She is the leader of the NORTEM infrastructure project, the TEM Gemini Centre, a program head in SFI-CASA, and SFI PhysMet and used to be a board member in EMS up to 2024.
