Our research group, Advanced Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy, operates at CEITEC BUT and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, BUT. Our goal is not only to use existing electron microscopes, but also to push their capabilities further and find new ways of obtaining information about various types of samples at the atomic level. Our work combines theoretical and experimental research
Andrea Konečná, Ph.D. leads the Advanced Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy research group at CEITEC BUT and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, BUT. In her research, she combines electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and nanophotonics, focusing on developing new methods that enable precise control of electron beams using light
Our main research directions include light-driven electron optics, electron beam shaping, electron spectroscopy of low-energy excitations, and time-resolved electron microscopy. We investigate how light can be used to create new types of electron beams, obtain more detailed information about materials, and track processes that take place on extremely short timescales. By combining electron microscopy with nanophotonics, we are able to open up new research directions and push the boundaries of current imaging and spectroscopic methods
