Congratulations to NanoRAM Doctoral Candidate Anna Pushkareva Fazullina (University of Warwick), who received a Best Poster Award at the 12th International Workshop on SECM and Related Techniques, held in Rimini, Italy.

Anna presented her ongoing PhD research entitled “A New SECCM Control Module for Targeted Probing and Automated Feature Location”, which focuses on developing advanced software tools for scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM). As part of this work, she developed a new control module in NI LabVIEW with integrated Python code, enabling users to perform targeted and automated-location SECCM experiments.

The module has been integrated into the WEC-SPM software platform and allows researchers to identify and revisit specific sample features either manually or through automated image analysis workflows. The approach was successfully demonstrated for re-scanning previously acquired SECCM measurements and for automated detection and imaging of gold particles on indium tin oxide substrates.

The award recognises both the scientific quality and technical innovation of Anna’s work, which contributes to the development of next-generation nanoscale electrochemical characterisation tools.

The NanoRAM consortium congratulates Anna on this achievement and wishes her continued success in her research.
