My primary role is to support user operations at the NSLS 2 crystallography beamlines FMX and AMX. I am also involved with sample preparation and methods development at NSLS 2. In particular, I was responsible for demonstrating novel acoustic methods for sample preparation such as acoustic fragment screening, acoustic combinatorial crystallization, and acoustic sample harvesting.
