Research Activity :

My research work is carried out mainly in Material Science and Biophysics using time and space resolved synchrotron X-ray scattering techniques, X-ray microscopy, neutron diffraction and spectroscopy. I developed applications of statistical physics and spatial statistics to Scanning X-ray scattering measurements to study the evolution of complex and heterogeneous structures in out-of-equilibrium systems. Recent case studies are:

  1. Imaging, manipulation and control of competing interactions in quantum materials: mapping self-organization of strain, defects, charge and spin order [1-3]
  2. Spatio-temporal structural fluctuations and Lévy statistics in Biophysics [4-5]
  3. Hybrid metal and magnetic nanoparticles and nanoclusters [6]
