I am a physicist currently working at Argonne National Laboratory as a member of HPCAT.

My background is in high pressure – high temperature experiments in the diamond anvil cell with a focus on the electronic, chemical, and vibrational properties of compounds spanning minerals, binary semiconductors, and ceramics, as well as the design of optical instruments to facilitate such experiments.

Most recently, I have studied new structures in the radioactive element technetium, phase and vibrational properties in tin, and anomalous conductivity in rutile-type structures resulting from pressure-induced defects.
