Overview

Please join us for a joyful afternoon of reflections on the impact of the scientific contributions of Professor John Rodenburg FRS throughout his career.

John is internationally recognised for his work revolutionising microscopic imaging using visible light, electrons and especially X-rays. The Ptychography method permits imaging beyond the limitations of conventional optics and is now employed today at synchrotrons around the globe for X-ray imaging with ultimate resolution.

He studied at the University of Cambridge as a Royal Society Fellow, during which he undertook pioneering studies in electron ptychography. After moving to the University of Sheffield, he made essential contributions to the X-ray community. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2019.

This event will explore various episodes of John’s scientific career and the scientific developments resulting from his pioneering work.
