A researcher and educator in X-ray absorption fine structure. His tutorial connects the measured X-ray absorption spectroscopy oscillations with the scattering of a photoelectron by neighboring atoms. The resulting analysis estimates neighboring distances and coordination, making the technique useful for studying local structure even when a sample lacks the long-range order needed for ordinary crystallography.[ref]
