Our advanced TEM capabilities provide comprehensive characterization of materials from the micrometer to atomic scale. We offer high-resolution imaging, diffraction, elemental and chemical analysis, 3D tomography, and in situ/operando microscopy to investigate microstructure, composition, defects, phase transformations, degradation mechanisms, and structure-property relationships. Our expertise supports research and development in engineering alloys, energy storage materials, catalysts, semiconductors, nanomaterials, and other functional materials.
Northwestern University is a comprehensive private research university with campuses in Evanston and downtown Chicago and a collaborative, cross‑disciplinary culture. Integration with a major hospital system enables clinical research, diverse patient access, and rapid translation from bench to bedside. Shared research cores, prototyping facilities, a campus incubator, and dedicated corporate engagement teams make it straightforward to scope projects, structure agreements, and place talent. Research is supported by competitive federal funding from agencies such as NIH, NSF, DOE, and DoD, complemented by foundation and industry partnerships. A dedicated technology transfer office advances IP strategy, licensing, and startup formation.
