Research interests include experimental condensed matter physics, mass spectrometry instrumentation, radiocarbon dating, and analysis of platinum/actinide elements. Key techniques involve ion beam cooling, gas-phase reactions, and low-concentration isotope detection (down to 1-in-10¹⁶ levels).
Publications emphasize AMS method development for chlorine isotopes, platinum group elements, and iodine-129. Recent work (2005-2009) highlights advancements in gas ion sources, reaction cells, and low-level elemental analysis for insulating materials. His research bridges physics innovation with real-world environmental and geological applications.
