Research
My current research is focused on method development and implementation to bring large biomolecules (peptides, proteins, viruses, cells) into gas phase and rapidly cool them to ultra-cold temperature using buffer gas cooling technique. This will provide us intense, collimated beam of cold (~4 K) and controlled biomolecules and nanoparticles for atomic resolution diffractive imaging using X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL).
