Responsibilities

I am a staff scientist at the ALS responsible for Coherent X-ray Science beamline.  I am responsible for the coherent x-ray scattering program at the ALS. I make sure users get to do experiments in a safe environment. to My research is in the emerging area of topological magnetic phenomenon at materials surface/interface, equilibrium and driven magnetization dynamics using resonant x-ray magnetic scattering and x-ray  photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS).

Research Interests

I use synchrotron based resonantly tuned coherent x-ray magnetic scattering to study complex multifunctional materials that are relevant to future technologies and energy efficient devices. These studies unravel new topological phases and provide insight into spontaneous nanoscale fluctuations of order parameters that often form the basis of functionality. These comprehensive studies allow me to atomically probe bulk and interfacial electronic structure and spin texture that provide fundamental insight into the mechanism by which the magnetic interactions takes place. Together with x-ray free electron sources (LCLS) and upcoming diffraction limited synchrotron sources, coherent x-rays will be an important probe for studying condensed matter system.
