The main theme of my research interests is the application of hard x-rays to the characterization of materials. This research theme covers a variety of past and current projects, including the study of surfaces, interfaces, thin film materials and interfaces for the electronics industry, and some biomaterials. A secondary research theme also covers the study of new types of optics that improve the methods for hard x-ray characterization.
As a beamline scientist, my primary task is to support a collection of user groups that are interested in the in-situ study of growing surfaces and interfaces. We, the ISR beamline staff, support these user groups in the ISR D-hutch, a hutch that is optimized to these kinds of problems. I was a member of the team that designed, managed the construction, and commissioned the ISR beamline. See the "Selected Publications" section to read more about this in-situ growth effort.
