Research My laboratory experience working with small molecule and macromolecular crystallography stretches over 14 years. I have worked with X-ray diffraction (in house and synchrotron sources), Laue diffraction, neutron diffraction, computational chemistry as well as molecular biology, biochemical, analytical and imaging techniques. My special interest lies in the application of the crystallographic techniques to different fields including pharmacology, chemistry, industry and medicine. Currently, my work focusses on Quantum crystallography and software development for quantum crystallography to determin hydrogen atom parameters from x-ray diffraction.
