Ursula Ludacka
About
As a dedicated TEM enthusiast with a profound fascination for the nanoworld, I am driven by the quest to unveil the mysteries concealed within the realms of the very small. My professional journey has brought me to NTNU in Trondheim, Norway, where I embark on the exploration of the nanoscale universe.
I excel in the complexities of technical details and am particularly passionate about working with multidimensional 4D STEM datasets. My expertise extends not only to TEM but also encompasses open-source data processing, where I employ cutting-edge tools to extract valuable insights from these intricate datasets.
My background is rich with diverse experiences, including positions at EMAT in Antwerp and postdoctoral research alongside Dennis Meier. These experiences have provided me with a broad spectrum of techniques and perspectives, enhancing my versatility in both TEM and materials science.
Trondheim has not only captivated me with its breathtaking natural surroundings but has also offered a unique blend of exhilarating sports, scientific exploration, and the seamless integration of open-source data processing—a place where nature, innovation, and knowledge converge.
