In this two-for-one episode, I'm chatting with two new group leaders in the Department of Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design; Dr Paravskevas Kontis, group leader in High Performance Alloys for Extreme Environments, and Dr Jaber Mianroodi, group leader in Computational Sustainable Metallurgy. We chatted about the challenges of being a new group leader, how to delegate responsibility to group members, and the development of materials to improve resource sustainability.

In this week's episode, I spoke with Dr. Baptiste Gault, who is the Group Leader of the Atom Probe Tomography Group in the Department of Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design at MPIE. He also holds a position of reader in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London, and is the holder of a prestigious European Research Council Consolidator Grant which funds his ground-breaking research. We had a extensive discussion about the atom probe tomography approach, and its applications to a broad range of material systems, as well as reflecting on the benefits of frank and open discussion with colleagues when writing proposals and papers.
