Dr. Haithem Mansour graduated with a PhD in Material Science from the University of Lorraine in France. He joined Oxford Instruments in 2016 and has always worked with a strong focus in electron microscopy and microanalysis. Haithem has focused his research in ECCI, EBSD, EDS and BEX, in particular the development and improvement of these analytical techniques. He is currently working as X-ray Product Manager within the NanoAnalysis marketing team, where he helps design, develop and market new analytical systems.

Anjuli Bali is a second-year PhD student in the NanoAnalysis group at Oxford university, where she investigates stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in nuclear reactor components. Her research takes a multimodal approach to characterising the microstructure and chemistry of materials, with a current focus on austenitic steel welds and oxidised surface layers. She employs a range of advanced techniques, from SEM-EDX to TEM-EELS and diffraction, to investigate the SCC mechanisms affecting these materials

Metallurgist specializing in orientation-based microscopy, with expertise in advanced data acquisition configurations (3D-EBSD, A-ECCI, EBSD/EDS) and data post-processing techniques (parent map reconstruction, variant selection modelling, AI-assisted orientation map analysis). Research focuses on phase transformation-induced microtextures in steels and titanium alloys, investigating the relationship between processing, inherited microstructure, and mechanical property anisotropy. Author of 97 international journal articles and co-supervisor of 12 PhD students and 11 postdoctoral researchers. Currently serving as Deputy Director of LEM3.

Now Professor Emeritus at the University of Lorraine, he has devoted his career to understanding and controlling the effects of manufacturing processes on the microstructure of high-performance metallic alloys, in particular nickel-based superalloys, TiAl intermetallics and high-strength steels. His work, which is mainly experimental, has made use of numerous methods for structural and chemical characterisation - in particular quantitative image analysis – as well as for tracking phase transformations (dilatometry, resistivimetry, DTA, XRD, etc.). He has also spent part of his time transferring scientific knowledge to industry.
