My senior undergraduate thesis is titled Study of ZrW2O8 Metal-Oxygen Peaks through EXAFS Analysis. I examined negative thermal expansion crystals; materials that get smaller as they get hotter. The lab I worked in specialized in skutterudites and colossal magnetoresistance materials. I also had the opportunity to use extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis (EXAFS) at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center to collect data.
