Research Description

My research interests span two interrelated areas in experimental condensed matter physics: (1) depth-resolved x-ray spectroscopic and scattering probes of electronic structure and (2) femtosecond electronic structure and spin dynamics. In particular, my research group is focusing on the development of new static and time-resolved synchrotron and FEL-based x-ray techniques and applying these techniques to depth-resolved studies of novel materials, buried interfaces, and multilayer structures.
