Award of the Heinz Bethge Prize for Materials Science 2024 to Dr. Trushal Sardhara

For his dissertation "3D Reconstruction of FIB Tomography Data Using Machine Learning", which Trushal wrote in collaboration with BEEM, among others, he was awarded the Heinz Bethge Prize for Materials Science

We warmly congratulate Trushal on this.

Trushal's work contributes significantly to improving the three-dimensional reconstruction of nanomaterials using FIB-SEM tomography. Until now, this methodology has reached its limits, particularly due to the shine-through effect and ambiguity in image intensity.

With the help of machine learning, Trushal was able to overcome this quality limitation. In Trushal's new approach, the shine-through effect is no longer an obstacle, but is even used as an additional source of information. Trushal's work sets new standards for the quality and efficiency of characterizing micro- and nanostructures in materials science.
