My research at Los Alamos
National Laboratory includes both basic (actinide chemistry) and
applied chemistry (molecular recognition), as well as the interface
between chemistry and engineering (Radiation Litmus Paper, advanced
window technologies).

The Advanced Window
Technology project involves the development of windows
with exotic value-added properties.
The Molecular Recognition project
involves the development of Microscale X-Ray Fluorescence (MXRF)
for the high throughput imaging and quantification of molecular recognition.
Radiation Litmus
Paper is the first low dose colorimetric radiation detector.
Actinide chemistry is
unlike any other type of chemistry--it involves unusual materials
and complex working environments.
