Dr. Ritimukta Sarangi

Dr. Sarangi is a senior scientist at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory with 20 years of experience in the application of a combination of hard and soft x-ray spectroscopic techniques to a range of systems, from complex biological/biomimetic catalysts to related homogenous catalyst systems. One of her main research focus is understanding the mechanism of first row transition metal metalloenzyme active sites involved in redox catalysis. She drives the technological development on several x-ray spectroscopy facilities and plays a critical role in training and dissemination of synchrotron based techniques. She is also involved in strategic planning to enhance access of various research user communities to SSRL facilities.
