Biography

My research focus lies in combining powder diffraction techniques with in situ studies of complex materials to discover the underlying atomic origins of the relevant material properties such as reaction pathways, synthesis, decomposition mechanisms, phase-transitions, and material passivation/poisoning. I approach these challenging scientific problems with expertise in three areas: detail-oriented design of advanced sample environments optimized for total scattering methods, experience with a wide variety of scattering analysis tools, and the ability to develop custom data reduction and analysis methods to meet specific needs found through ‘at the beamline’ experiences.

My recent research focus has been on developing machine learning and AI-assisted tools to assist with materials discovery at Synchrotron X-ray beamlines.
