Main interests
Theory and practise of diffraction methods (crystal structure determination from single crystals and powders, lattice defects, texture) :

Structures from powders . In collaboration with V. Favre-Nicolin we have developped the program Fox,
Decomposition of overlapping reflections in a powder diffraction pattern with the help of preferred orientation (texture).
Novel light metal hydrides for hydrogen storage and lithium batteries:
We have characterized the crystal structures of following binary borohydrides using the program Fox and X-ray powder diffraction:
LiBH4 (reinvestigated on a single crystal)

Mg(BH4)2 (reinvestigated on a single crystal)

Mn(BH4)2 (first homoleptic TM-borohydride)
