MSA 2022 Awards
Albert Crewe Award: Jordan A. Hachtel Jordan Hachtel received
Jordan Hachtel, Center for Nano-
phase Material Sciences, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
his PhD in 2016 in Phys- ics from Vanderbilt Univer- sity, working with Professor Sokrates Pantelides on opti- cal properties of complex nanostructures. He then did his postdoctoral training at Oak Ridge National Labora- tory (ORNL), specializing in monochromated EELS and aberration-corrected STEM to perform precision nanoscale characterization of organic
molecules, plasmonic nanostructures, and 2D materials. Dr. Hachtel has published 56 papers and played the leading role in 29 of them. Four of his papers have been featured on journal covers, and he received the Microanalysis Society Cosslett Award for the best invited paper at the 2018 M&M Meeting. Dr. Hachtel is currently an R&D Associate at ORNL
and has expertise in cathodoluminescence (CL), differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging, monochromated EELS, atomic resolution imaging quantification, and the development of open-source scripting analytical tools for on-the-fly and post- processing 4D STEM imaging. He has done truly pioneering work on monochromated EELS, being the first to observe and measure isotopic shiſts with EELS in deuterated water and amino acids. Te work, published in Advanced Materials (
https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.201802702) and Science (https://
doi.org/10.1126/science.aav5845), was recognized in 2019 by the UT-Battelle Director’s Team Award for Research Accom- plishment and the UT-Battelle Outstanding Team Research Accomplishment Award. Additional work on DPC imaging allowed him to acquire data and develop his own Python script to analyze 4D data sets and extract the E-field and poten- tial images that revealed the electric field of atomic columns (including those of weak electron scatters, such as oxygen) at the sub-angstrom resolution (

George Palade Award Te George Palade Award was initiated to recognize annu-
ally the distinguished contributions to the field of microscopy and microanalysis in the life sciences of an early career scientist, of not more than 6 years’ standing since doctoral graduation, for research performed during this period.
George Palade Award: Melody Campbell Melody Campbell received her PhD in Biophysics from
the Scripps Research Institute in Florida with Bridget Car- ragher. During her post-doc in the lab of Yifan Cheng at UCSF, Melody made use of her expertise in cryo-EM image processing to study integrins, a group of proteins consid- ered by many to be too f lexible and too small for meaning- ful cryo-EM studies. At UCSF she expanded her toolset to
12
include the development and fabrication of new grid sub- strates for sample preparation, as well as her biochemical skills to include mammalian cell expression and purifica- tion of heavily glycosylated proteins. Melody began her inde-

pendent career in July 2020 and is currently an Assistant Profes- sor in the Basic Sciences Divi- sion at Fred Hutchings Cancer Research Center. She is also the Scientific Director of the Cryo-
EM Core and an Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Depart- ment of Biochemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Melody has continued her research on integrin complex
interactions and has redefined our understanding of integrin mediated TGF-β activation. She determined the structures of integrins in complex with their ligand TGF-β with high affinity antibody fragments engineered to “trap” integrins in interme- diate states. She was an invited speaker at the last two 3DEM Gor-
don Research Conference (GRC) meetings. Melody has also spoken at several cryo-EM international conferences, includ- ing the 3D-EM GRC (2018, 2019), the Microscopy Society of Japan Meeting (2019), the Microscopy & Microanalysis Meeting (2019), and the West Coast Structural Biology Workshop (2019). Her publications are in stellar journals such as Science, Cell, and Nature Communications.
Chuck Fiori Award for Outstanding Technologist in the Physical Sciences Tis award annually honors a technologist from the physi-
cal sciences who has made significant contributions, such as the development of new techniques, that have contributed to the advancement of microscopy and microanalysis. A technologist is defined as an individual whose primary role is in microscopy and microanalysis tool development or service. Established principal investigators/project managers are not eligible for this award.
Fiori Award: Hendrik O. Colijn Hendrik O. Colijn is currently the Assistant Director for
Operations at the Ohio State University Center for Micros- copy and Analysis (CEMAS), where he has played a leading role in development of the world-class facility and assisted researchers and students in the areas of TEM, SEM, Auger, FIB, XRD, and microCT since 1982. He maintains the suite of equipment involving many electron optical columns, has provided world-class service and tutoring to many genera- tions of materials scientists, and given years of service to the Microscopy Society of the Ohio River Valley (MSORV). Henk is a technologist who understands the physics involved in a technique and is able to dig into problems involving the mechanical and electrical systems of equipment. Henk
