John Marius Rodenburg is emeritus professor in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Sheffield.[1] [2] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2019 for "internationally recognised... work on revolutionising the imaging capability of light, X-ray and electron transmission microscopes".[3]

Education

Rodenburg was educated at University of Exeter where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics with Electronics. He moved to the Cavendish Laboratory[4] to complete his PhD on the detection and interpretation of electron diffraction patterns which was awarded by the University of Cambridge in 1986.[5]

Career and research

Rodenburg worked until 1999 in the University of Cambridge as a University Research Fellow of the Royal Society.[6] He is currently emeritus professor in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Sheffield.[7]

His research interests have mostly been in improving the resolution and other capabilities of electron, X-ray and optical microscopy by processing diffraction patterns instead of using lenses. He has innovated many key developments in the diffractive imaging method called ptychography.[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

In 2006, Rodenburg co-founded Phase Focus Limited, which uses ptychography to image live cells to improve cancer drug design. He served as a director and Chief Scientific Officer from 2006 to 2015.[14] [15] [16] [17]

Awards and honours

Rodenburg was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2019.

Personal

Rodenburg is married to the material scientist Professor Conny Rodenburg,[18] and is the brother of the voice coach and writer Patsy Rodenburg[19]
