Responsible for the development of advanced optics.

Principal scientific interest:

manipulating soft X-ray and hard X-ray beams by use of reflection, refraction and diffraction
primarily for the purpose of focusing and of energy dispersion (e.g. by use of multilayer coatings,
X-ray waveguides, alligator lenses, Clessidra prism array lenses, diffraction gratings).
