Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Ercius is a Staff Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who leads operation and development of TEAM 0.5, one of the world’s most powerful transmission electron microscopes. With a Ph.D. from Cornell and over a decade at NCEM/Molecular Foundry, he specializes in atomic electron tomography, aberration-corrected STEM, EELS, and three-dimensional nanoscale analysis. He translates cutting-edge microscope capabilities into routine user techniques, enabling atomic-resolution 3D characterization across materials and devices. His work spans instrument development, user support, and novel image-analysis methods that push the limits of sub-angstrom structural reconstruction. Based in Berkeley, he combines deep academic training with hands-on stewardship of flagship national microscopy infrastructure.
