About Salomé Larmier
Dr. Salomé Larmier is a Sales Business Development Specialist at Thermo Fisher Scientific, supporting customers in their adoption of advanced electron microscopy solutions. Her background includes the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and a variety of related materials characterization techniques for the investigation of complex geological materials.
Her doctoral research in petroleum geoscience focused on the characterization of natural hydraulic fractures in unconventional reservoirs, which has given her a strong foundation in geological characterization and data interpretation. She has a range of practical, hands-on experience with electron microscopy and microanalytical techniques that are actively being used in modern geoscience research.
Expertise and focus
Salomé specializes in electron microscopy and automated mineralogical techniques for geoscience applications. She has extensive experience applying automated mineralogy to reservoir characterization, mineral phase identification, and the analysis of heterogeneous geological materials. Her expertise in geological characterization encompasses SEM-EDS, automated mineralogy, as well as subsequent data interpretation.
She is involved in the development and adoption of automated mineralogy solutions across the full analytical process, from identifying customer needs and defining appropriate workflows to supporting data interpretation and technical guidance for specific geoscience applications.
Scientific perspective
Salomé’s perspective is shaped by both her background in petroleum geosciences and her practical experience with electron microscopy. She understands the challenges geoscientists face when translating mineralogical and microanalytical data into meaningful and actionable insight. She offers a unique perspective on how mineralogical information can be used to support decisions in exploration, reservoir characterization, and resource development.
She is intent on helping researchers and industry professionals connect analytical results to the specific questions they need to answer, facilitating more efficient and reliable characterization of complex geological materials.
