Roger Wepf is Director of the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis at The University of Queensland, where he leads advances in correlative and multimodal imaging across life, materials, and earth sciences. His work has shaped imaging workflows by integrating high-pressure freezing, cryo-transfer, FIB/SEM, SIMS, and volume CLEM into unified platforms.
His co-development of foundational methods—from VCT, and Shuttle & Find to HPM100 vitrification and OMNY—has influenced commercial systems still in use in the community. At UQ, Roger leads the NRICH initiative to apply CLEM and multimodal analytics to critical minerals, circular economy, and environmental resilience.
Looking ahead, he advocates for “Google Earth”-like navigation through biological and material complexity—powered by new instrumentations, HPC, and scalable open standards. His keynote reflects a career committed to bridging modalities and enabling discovery across disciplines.
