Current research focuses on surface physics, chemisorption and catalysis and the electron spectroscopy of surfaces. Much of our recent activity has focused on structural and vibrational analysis of surfaces using high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, in conjunction with other analytical techniques. Recent topics have included the investigation of polymer films, plasma treatment of polymer surfaces and the thermal evolution of acetylene overlayers on palladium surfaces. Electrospun nanofibers are also being studied.
