James Sagar has been a Strategic Product and Applications Manager in benchtop NMR at Oxford Instruments since January 2019. He joined the company in 2015 as Product Manager for energy dispersive X-ray analysis, looking after the world’s first EDS detector for electron microscopes capable of detecting Li X-rays. Before this, James carried out post-doctoral research at University College London.

Alexandra is a geologist by training. She studied at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). The study of minerals and, in general, nature have always been intriguing to her; initially emphasising on metals (gold and manganese occurrence), later expanding to rock texture analysis. Microanalytical approaches, especially scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) have opened new doors in the observation and quantification of minerals and rocks properties. Alexandra joined Oxford Instruments in 2020 as a Segment Marketing Scientist, focusing on battery materials characterisation.
