Research Interests

I am a mineralogical crystallographer specialized in non-ambient single-crystal and powder diffraction methods mostly applied to microporous materials. Recently, the focus of my research has moved to the application of diffraction and spectroscopic (e.g. nuclear magnetic resonance) methods to understand and predict mechanisms leading to modification of physicochemical properties of minerals/materials.
