Brief description of the work:

My interestes include disordered alloys, in situ studies of bimetallic catalysts, pressure, temperature, dopant and grain-size induced phase transitions in ferroelectric perovskites, metal-insulator transitions, development of beamline optics and detectors, in situ study of metal proteins, interaction of metals with humic substances and thiols, development of EXAFS data analysis methods to study disordered and nanoscale materials, using XANES for structural studies of dilute solutions
