Bruce Ravel

My main field of research involves X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and related techniques as applied to environmental science and materials physics. I am the author of several programs for EXAFS analysis as well as a few other tidbits. I work in the Synchrotron Methods Group of the Ceramic Division at NIST and at National Synchrotron Light Source. I am a graduate of the Physics program at the University of Washington.

Please refer to the bug reports page for hints on how best to report problems with ATHENA, ARTEMIS, HEPHAESTUS, or ATOMS.

Questions about IFEFFIT should be posted to the IFEFFIT mailing list and questions about FEFF should be posted to the FEFF mailing list.

If you have questions about any of the XAS software, please use email rather than telephone to contact me for the first time.

I believe in the essential decency and fairness of the American people. This does not mean, however, that I believe our leaders and our voters always to be of sound judgment. Democracy does not guarantee wisdom or virtue; it guarantees only the principles of majority rule and freedom of choice. And freedom of choice includes, whether we like it or not, the right to be wrong. We can only hope that from time to time our leaders will be right.

Now is not such a time.

George McGovern writing in the December 2002 Harper's Magazine

Some people decided to make knowledge into property. That wasn't capitalism speaking; that was a greedy scam. There wasn't anything normatively acceptable about it. It contravened the freedom of speech and ideas. We [don't] engage in it because it [excludes] people from ideas.
