Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource

Research/Professional Focus

• Research collaborations with international scientific teams, including industry, for nanoscale and microscale analysis of energy materials including batteries and catalysts.  Correlate nanostructure (including porosity) and chemical state ex situ, in situ and in operando. Techniques include X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), scanning X-ray fluorescence, X-dray diffraction and full field hard X-ray transmission microscopy. 
• Lead world-class full field Transmission X-ray Microscopy (TXM) program at SSRLat SSRL BL6-2/SLAC, developing unique capabilities for characterizing chemistry and materials science during operation (operando) of batteries, catalysts and other materials. Mesoscale approach to examine nanoscale heterogeneities that contribute to function and failure.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary teams for optimization of "operando" science; including data management, software, experimental design, novel sample environments, multi-modal data collection.
• Writing, editing, reviewing and publishing of scientific papers and proposals. 
• Presentations and workshops at international conferences, synchrotron facilities and industry on: catalysis, energy, microscopy, and X-ray science for energy applications.
