Majid Kazemian

Majid joined Diamond in 2013 after working at Elettra-Sincrotrone, Trieste Italy, from 2009, following the completion of his PhD in Physics/Nanotechnology. Majid has worked on various synchrotron beamlines, expanding his expertise in X-ray microscopy, instrumentation, and method development.

As principal beamline scientist at I14 beamline, Majid’s role involves empowering individuals and ensuring that his team’s collective efforts result in best way supporting current users, attract new users and enhance the scientific impact of I14 as a leading nanoprobe beamline. This is achieved by maximally leveraging the user community and investing in the beamline’s main goals, such as leading functional in-situ/in-operando environment specimen studies, increasing spatial resolution, and spearheading exceptional activities that further Diamond’s aims and objectives.

Majid’s current research is focused on energy and battery research, catalysts, metal-polymer nanocomposites, nanomaterials, and developing in-situ and in-operando specimen environments for cross-beamline examination.
