My primary research revolves around exploring the relationship between the structure and properties of novel inorganic compounds. I am interested in various aspects, such as the synthesis of these compounds using techniques like Solid-State, Spark Plasma Sintering, and Schlenk Line methods. I focus on determining their atomic and magnetic structures using advanced techniques like X-ray Diffraction (including Synchrotron Radiation), Neutron Diffraction, and Electron Microscopy. Finally, I investigate the physical properties of these compounds, including Magnetism, Electronic, and Ionic Transport properties. My research focuses primarily on oxides, fluorides, and mixed-anion materials.
