· PhD in the development of 3D-EXAFS refinements for multi-dimensional structural information.

· Station scientist for EXAFS Station 7.1 at SRS between 1993 and 2001.

· Expertise in instrumentation developments covering x-ray detectors, electron detectors, beamline optics, x-ray monochromators, stopped-flow fluorescence EXAFS and most recently DEI x-ray camera for medical imaging.

· 3D-EXAFS studies on metalloproteins: myoglobin (Fe), azurin (Cu), nitrite reductase (Cu) and other iron complexes.

· Medical research: x-ray fluorescence on human hair, EXAFS on human brain tumour tissues and novel x-ray imaging (diffraction enhanced and phase contrast) on animal organs.

· SR research experience at 3^rd generation light sources: Spring-8 and Elettra.
