Her research interests center on the improvement of electron microscopy techniques for biomaterials characterization and development, in particular on using focused ion beam microscopy and electron tomography to understand soft-hard tissue interfaces. Kathryn’s research projects focus on materials and technique development for improving osseointegration of titanium implant systems for dental and orthopaedic applications. Special focus is placed on developing three-dimensional analysis methods to understand biomineralization and bone growth at implant interfaces.
