RESEARCH INTERESTS

X-ray and neutron scattering techniques to study the structure and dynamics of condensed matter. Research interests include magnetic x-ray scattering measurements of magnetic phase transitions, the structure and disorder in Icosahedral phase alloys, and the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in superconductors.
