We are always looking for new Ph.D. students with a background and interest in any of the many fields high pressure science intersects.
Research Areas
Mineral Physics of Earth and Planetary Interiors
With the rapid advances of the past decade in ultrahigh-pressure x-ray synchrotron technology, researchers are now able to tackle some of the most fundamental, long-standing questions regarding...
New Materials under Extreme Environments
Extreme environments provide a much broader arena in which to search for materials with desirable properties. This is an emerging field which holds great promise for the discovery of unique...
Novel High Pressure X-ray Techniques
We work on the development of novel high pressure X-ray techniques, particularly, the nanoscale transmission X-ray microscopy (nanoTXM) technique and ultrafast characterization techniques for the...
