I apply state-of-the-art theoretical, experimental, and computational techniques to study local and long-range structures in a variety of complex solids, including fast-ion conductors, ferroelectric relaxors, high-temperature superconductors, and colossal magnetoresistive manganites, where nanoscale structural features influence macroscopic physical properties.  This includes the development of symmetry-mode analysis (through the tools of the ISOTROPY Software Suite.
