Tim Schubert

Tim Schubert is a research associate at the Materials Research Institute Aalen (IMFAA) working in the field of Additive Manufacturing as well as materials microscopy and image analysis as the responsible person for microscopic equipment. He is a trained materials tester and studied Materialography (Bachelor) and Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (Master) at Aalen University both on the topic of Additive Manufacturing of tungsten carbide hard metals. He is currently working on his Ph.D. on the same topic. In the field of materials microscopy the work focuses on application of correlative microscopy, FIB/SEM and laser assisted preparation for microstructure characterization.

Dr. Kirill Atlasov

Dr. Kirill Atlasov holds a PhD in physics from EPFL, Switzerland, where during 6 years his major work was to develop technology of semiconductor photonic-crystal cavities with integrated quantum nanostructures and to study microcavity laser and cavity-induced spectral properties of light. After that for 10 years he supported Carl Zeiss Russia in projects for Zeiss electron microscopy business and other high-end nanotechnology equipment. Currently he joined Zeiss headquarters as a regional Product & Application Sales Specialist (PASS) and mainly supports Crossbeam business in EMEA region.

Dr. Antonio Casares

Antonio Casares is sales and applications specialist at ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions in Germany. He has more than 25 years of experience in the design and construction of mass spectrometers and electron microscopes and a deep application knowledge in those techniques.
Antonio holds a diploma in biophysics achieved at the University of Giessen, Germany, where he also earned his doctor’s degree, summa cum laude, in “Charged Particle Optics”. Antonio was employed with the Max-Planck Institute as “Aerospace Instrument Scientist” and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Nuclear Physics Division in the USA before he joined ZEISS Strategic Business Development in August 2002.

Dr. Daniel Šimek

Dr. Šimek works at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Science in the Division of Condensed Matter Physics focusing on Material Analysis. He focuses on X-ray diffraction reflektivity and its application to the study of solid-state materials. He investigates their microstructure and its effect on their properties. An important part of his work is the development of X-ray techniques for studying materials and structures that are prepared by material research groups at the Institute of Physics.

Dr. Mohsen Samadi Khoshkhoo

Mohsen Samadi Khoshkhoo is a business development manager at Zeiss for X-ray microscopy systems in the region Europe, the middle east and Africa (EMEA). With his BSc and MSc in metallurgy he worked for a year in a steel company followed by a year in a materials and energy research center in Iran. In 2009 he joined to Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research in Dresden (IFW Dresden) and TU Dresden, where he conducted his PhD in Materials Science. Materials characterization was the core of his work at IFW where he dealt with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in-situ SEM, X-ray line profile analysis, and time resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction investigations. Since 2014 he is a member of the ZEISS team.
