Ivan Halasz

My research is focused on the in situ study and methodology development for monitoring of solid-state reactions by ball milling. I apply this methodology to the study of mechanochemical reactions of mostly organic compounds and supramolecular recognition. I am interested in learning the mechanistic details of milling reactions.
