His current research thrusts include fundamental and programmatic research on surface radiolytic and thermal processes over surfaces of importance to LANL. These studies have included in situ studies using IR spectroscopy, gas-phase catalytic measurements of actinide materials, a variety of thermal experimental surface science studies, and chemical kinetic modeling studies of chemistry initiated by surface radiolytic processes.
