Marta Rossell

Marta Rossell is a Staff Scientist at Empa's Electron Microscopy Center since 2011. She specializes in atomic-level structure-property relationships of functional materials using advanced electron microscopy techniques. Her career spans postdoctoral research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California Berkeley, followed by a Senior Scientist role at ETH Zurich's Department of Materials.

• University of Barcelona (B.Sc. Geology, 2001)
• University of Antwerp (Dr. Sc., Electron Microscopy for Materials Science, 2006)

Research Interests:

• Ultra-high resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscopy
• High-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy
• Functional nano-materials and interface phenomena
• In-situ heating/electrical biasing transmission electron microscopy

Marta has published over 120 articles on materials including perovskite-type materials, modulated structures, metal oxide/sulfide nanoparticles, aluminum alloys, semiconductors, carbon nanotubes, and 2D materials. Her work focuses on ferroelectric/magnetoelectric oxides using in-situ electron microscopy.
