Keynote Speaker
Associate Professor, Department of Materials Science & Engineering, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies | McMaster University, Canada
Kathryn Grandfield is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering and the Associate Dean Graduate Studies for the Faculty of Engineering at McMaster University, Canada. She holds the Canada Research Chair in Microscopy of Biomaterials and Biointerfaces and is the Past-President of the Microscopy Society of Canada. Dr. Grandfield studied Materials Science and Engineering at McMaster University before attaining a Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences at Uppsala University, Sweden and then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. She is the recipient of several early career awards including the Early Researcher Award from the Ministry of Science, Research, and Innovation. Her research within the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy focuses on the development of multiscale, multidimensional and in situ correlative microscopies including focused ion beam, electron tomography, atom probe tomography, and liquid phase TEM for advancing the study of biomaterials and biomineralized tissues for applications in bone.
