ANL Research Highlights

We applied the technique of X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy to probe the nanoscale dynamics in Polymer Nanocomposites. This led to a novel measurement of internal stress at a nanoparticle-polymer interface to explain some unique thermo-mechanical properties [R.

New Endeavors

I am studying the nanoscale remodeling of certain DNA binding protein complexes using small-angle neutron and x-ray scattering.
