Expertise

Xray Absorption Spectroscopy, catalysis, Neutron Activation Analysis, Szilard-Chalmers Recoil Analysis.

Research Activities

My research work is in many fields, environmental science and material science in particular. I am collaborating with many national and international institutes, as well as industries in the research work of their field related with the technique of Xray Absorption Spectroscopy.

Developed Quick Xray Absorption Specroscopy at NSLS and continued the technique at NSLS-II.
