Expertise
Current research spans several disciplines, all centered on the understanding of the three dimensional structure of molecules.

- Structure determination by X-ray diffraction including both small-molecule and macromolecular crystallography. During the past thirty years nearly 4,000 molecular structures have been determined in our laboratory.
- Development of crystallography equipment and techniques. Design and construction of computer interfaces to control single crystal and powder diffractioninstruments. Specialized techniques have been developed to allow the growth of crystals from gaseous and liquid samples, as well as for the handling of highly reactive species.
- Crystallographic informatics and molecular graphics. Several research projects involve the development of molecular graphics for the visualization of molecular structures. Our laboratory has pioneered in the use of web servers for the dissemination of crystallographic data, and the development of shared database systems.
- Use of LAN and WAN techniques in instrument control and collaborative computing.
