Satoko Toyama

Assistant Professor, The University of Tokyo, Japan

Satoko Toyama received her Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Yuichi Ikuhara and Prof. Naoya Shibata. She held a JSPS research fellowship for young scientists (DC1) from 2020 to 2023. After completing her Ph.D., she joined the Institute of Engineering Innovation at the University of Tokyo as a Project Assistant Professor from 2023 to 2024. Since April 2024, she has held the position of Assistant Professor, and as of October 2024, she also served as a JST PRESTO researcher. Her research focuses on imaging electromagnetic fields using differential phase contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (DPC STEM), including the development of a tilt-scan averaged DPC STEM technique [S. Toyama et al., Ultramicroscopy 2022], quantitative, nanometer-scale mapping of two-dimensional electron gas at gallium nitride semiconductor heterointerfaces [S. Toyama et al., Nature Nanotechnology 2023], and the observation of space charge layers at yttria-stabilized zirconia grain boundaries [S. Toyama et al., Nature Communications 2024].
