Gianluigi Botton
Gianluigi A. Botton FRSC (born 1963) is a French Canadian scientist and engineer. As a Canada Research Chair at McMaster University, he leads the Botton's Group to investigate new materials on the atomic-scale. Early life and educationBotton was born in 1963.[1] He completed his Bachelor of Engineering degree in physics and PhD in materials engineering from Polytechnique Montréal.[2] Following his PhD, Botton was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge working under Colin Humphreys from 1993 to 1998. He then joined the Materials Technology Laboratory of Natural Resources Canada in 1998 as a research scientist.[3] Through his post-graduate positions, Botton also earned a summer job studying electron microscopy at Simon Fraser University.[4] CareerBotton joined the faculty of McMaster University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2001.[3] As a professor at McMaster, he also became the founder and inaugural director of the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy since 2008.[4] Throughout his tenure at McMaster, he focused his research laboratory towards the understanding of the structure of different materials at the atomic level.[5] As a result of his efforts, Botton was elected a fellow of the Microscopy Society of America[6] and named a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair.[7] By 2017, Botton was named the recipient of CMSC Metal Physics Award[8] and McMaster's the Faculty of Engineering Research Achievement Award.[9] In 2018, Botton was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada for his significant contributions within his field.[5] The following year, Botton was offered, and accepted, a directorship position with the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan "given his extensive background in materials science and advanced microscopy."[10] In 2023, Button was appointed CEO of the Diamond Light Source.[11] References
