The Sup3rForm project was presented during EUROMAT 2025, the 18th European Congress and Exhibition on Advanced Materials and Processes, held from 14–18 September in Granada, Spain.
Leila Panahi, project partner and industrial researcher at ALBA Synchrotron, attended the session “Artificial Intelligence, Modelling and Data Science in Advanced Alloy and Process Design”, introducing Sup3rForm project and the work of the Methodology Group at ALBA, outlining how the team collaborates with both academia and industry to design data-analysis workflows aimed at tackling complex scientific and industrial challenges
The presentation highlighted how ALBA supports users in combining complementary X-ray and electron microscopy techniques to build robust analysis pipelines tailored to advanced materials research. The talk also provided guidance on how researchers and companies can access ALBA’s facilities, either to use the existing multimodal capabilities or to engage in collaborative projects to co-develop equivalent workflows suited to their needs.
A central focus of the talk was the multimodal pipeline developed within Sup3rForm, which integrates X-ray diffraction with 4D-STEM Nanobeam Electron Diffraction (NBED). This workflow enables comprehensive characterization of microstructure and phase composition in advanced alloys, demonstrating how the combination of high-quality diffraction data with modern AI-driven analysis strategies can significantly accelerate and enhance materials characterisation.
Overall, EUROMAT 2025 provided an excellent platform for disseminating the project’s progress, strengthening collaboration among partners, and engaging with the wider materials science community.
