Research Interests:

Tom Watkins is a senior research staff in the Diffraction and Thermophysical Properties Group in the Materials Science and Technology Division. One option for collaboration on catalysis related projects for researchers external to ORNL is through the High Temperature Materials Program (www.html.ornl.gov/index.shtml). Tom’s research interests include X-ray and neutron diffraction, residual stress and mechanical properties of materials.

Selected current research themes include:

• X-ray Diffraction for catalyst characterization
