My current interests focused on studying in-situ structure property relationship of new materials (Solid Oxides and Ceramics, Metal Organic Frameworks, Metal doped Semiconductors, New Battery Electrode Materials, Nanomaterials & Quantum Dots) from synthesis and processing to their applications. These research interests are served by the development and commissioning of the beamline 28ID with high energy, high flux and high-resolution X-rays. My current efforts are focused in the development and implementation of various experimental capabilities in line with NSLS II strategic plans and in collaboration with external users. The capabilities includes but not limited to: in-situ & fast diffraction, scattering and imaging techniques (XRD, PDF, SAXS, XRD-CT), various sample environments (High Temperature Cells, Liquid & Gas Flow Reactors and Cells, Electromagnetic Wave assisted growth and processing reactors, Moderate pressure gas & liquid cells), inline optical spectroscopy(UV-Vis-NIR absorption and fluorescence, Emission and Life Time), data collection & reduction protocols (high throughput, AI & ML based autonomous experiments).
