Summary
Joseph Deering is a research microscopist and materials scientist with 10+ years of experience applying focused ion beam and multimodal imaging (SEM, TEM, X-ray CT/XRM/XRD) to solve 3D micro- and nanoscale characterization challenges across biological and engineered materials. He combines advanced specimen preparation (including cryogenic workflows and lamella liftout) with Python-driven image analysis and deep learning for segmentation, reconstruction, and quantitative interpretation of complex datasets. His work spans bones, teeth and mineralized tissues as well as semiconductors, batteries, steels, titanium alloys, thin films and additive-manufactured parts, supported by 20+ peer-reviewed papers and 40+ conference presentations. A McMaster PhD and recent McGill postdoc (NSERC-funded), he pairs rigorous academic training and awards with hands-on instrument stewardship at a national electron microscopy facility. Notably, he bridges wet-lab biological protocols and high-throughput computational imaging pipelines, making him equally fluent in sample science and data science.
