Our next speaker is Jörg Radnik from BAM with insights into functionalised nanoparticles with photoelectron spectroscopy.

Our YSA finalists are up now introducing their posters. Good luck to Anya Eyres (NPL), Anna Trzaska (Nottingham), William Skinner (Imperial), Eleanor Ender (Manchester), Madeline Berrow (Nottingham) and Aleksandar Radic (Cambridge)!

We are pleased to welcome Olivier Renault to speak on challenges in reproducibility in HAXPES analysis.

Our next speaker is Anna Regoutz Dr Anna Regoutz from the University of Oxford presenting her work on complex interfaces using HAXPES.

Kicking off the final session of today is Ian Gilmore from NPL speaking on OrbiSIMS

Our final talk today is from Elizabeth Legge from National Physical Laboratory (NPL) focusing on Raman spectroscopy of pharmaceutical materials. Next up vendor presentations from Thermo Fisher, Blue Scientific and Kratos Analytical, before our poster session & conference dinner.

We are starting day 2 with two UKSAF Travel Award presentations, first up is Yizhuo Ding from the University of Manchester.

Our second Travel Award presentation is from Charlie Chandler from Surrey on new developments in XPS depth profiling.

Our next session is underway with an entertaining and insightful talk on advances in quantitative atomic scale TEM from Sarah Haigh from the University of Manchester.

Jean-Paul Barnes is our next speaker, describing his group's work on correlative work using TOF-SIMS, XPS and SEM.

This afternoon's session began with Sebastiaan Van Nuffel covering various interesting applications of TOF-SIMS imaging.

Next up we have Marcus Rohnke describing work on hard carbon battery anodes. Following this will be vendor presentations from SPECSGROUP (Paul Dietrich), IONTOF (Matthias Kleine-Boymann) and scienta_omicron (Ad Ettema).

Our final session begins with a talk from Clare Newell from the The Francis Crick Institute and NPL with her latest work on cryo-orbiSIMS.

The final talk of the Summer 2025 UKSAF meeting is from Anna Kotowska of the University of Nottingham. She is presenting her work on the chemical analysis of biofilms with Orbi-SIMS.

We are delighted to announce that Sebastiaan Van Nuffel has been awarded the Vickerman Prize for his extensive track record in mass spectrometry imaging, specifically time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), and its application in biological and medical research

It's time to honour our YSA winners! We had 6 finalists who all delivered excellent talks & posters, making the judging difficult! In the end, the winners were: Seah Award - Eleanor Ender Castle Award - Aleksandar Radic IOP Crossley Award - Anna Trzaska Congratulations!
