Here is a recent copy of my CV.
Here is a fairly recent publication list.

Work Related Stuff.

I'm lucky enough to enjoy what I do - even when the University ignores the cap I placed on the number of students allowed to enrol in my x-ray course. In addition to controlling the X-ray laboratory, I have many crystallographic etc. interests, some of which are outlined here.

I teach a regularly scheduled course in crystallography for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and also sometimes teach the Physical Chemistry laboratory in the Fall.

Maybe not so relevant anymore, but in March 1997, while working in the Biology and Biotechnology Division at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, I was the coverdude for the Vision Systems Design trade magazine.

My Erdös number is 4.
