Brief description of the work:

Current work focuses on the application of "in situ" synchrotron
techniques to the study of materials for rechargeable lithium
batteries. Argonne National Laboratory (1997-1999).
Research at Argonne centered on the investigation of the local atomic
and electronic structure of heavy metal dopants in electrochemically
deposited thin films. This research was relevant to environmental
clean-up and decontamination of storage tanks and piping systems in
nuclear installations. Doctoral research involved structural and
magnetic studies on a variety of condensed matter systems, such as
intermetallic alloys, nanostructured materials, superconducting
materials and rare-earth based permanent magnets.
