Dr. Robin Schäublin studied physics at EPFL, Switzerland. After his master he wrote the code CUFOUR that simulates transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of dislocations in crystals. He did then his PhD in the Physics department of EPFL on the ion implantation and subsequent formation of an original amorphous intermetallic phase in the Al-Ni system, an experimental work complemented by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. He graduated in 1993 and after a short post-doct at EPFL went to the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, for a post-doctoral stay of 2 years to pursue the improvement of high resolution diffraction contrast imaging of crystalline defects by TEM. He returned to Switzerland in 1996 at the Paul Scherrer Institute to join the Materials Group of the Centre of Research in Plasma Physics of EPFL. His first mission was to acquire a TEM at PSI for the study of irradiation induced defects in metals in relation to mechanical properties. He was visiting scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA, in 2000 and 2001 for extended stays to broaden his modelling activities in the field of radiation damage in metals, mainly with MD simulations, using the code MOLDY he extended to do dislocation-defect interaction studies. In 2002 he was visiting scientist at the Chinese Institute for Atomic Energy, China, to collaborate in radiation damage studies in metals and to help introduce TEM in this laboratory, thank to a donation of 2 TEMs he initiated. He is interim Vice President of the microscopy section of the Swiss Society for Optics and Microscopy. In the Materials Group of CRPP he is responsible for the microstructure studies and modelling of materials for the future fusion reactor. He is responsible for the Electron Microscopy Laboratory he set up at PSI.
