  I was involved in characterizing nominally anhydrous mantle minerals in order to better understand the the hydration state of the mantle. I also refined the structures of a group of trioctahedral micas that had been chemically well characterized in order to better understand the crystal-chemistry of mica. Additionally

  I was involved in many other projects including: garnet's structural response to elevated pressure

  x-ray studies of high temperature superconductors

  semiconductors

  hydrous chain silicates (pectolite

  serandite

  amphibloes)

  the structure determination of a small organo-metallic molecule

  aligning crystals for spectroscopic investigation using a procession camera and the list goes on ... The X-ray lab had two 4-circle diffractometers (one of which was equipped with a rotating anode)

  a powder diffractometer

  and a procession camera.

  geology / mineralogy

  my research involves using X-ray diffracion to study the sturucture of mineral
