个人简历

Overall I am interested in sustainable chemistry. Asking questions like “What is actually there?” which relates to an assessment of either a product or a resource in addition to establishing background concentrations. Another angle is “What happens during manufacturing or after completed use?” this is addressing the environmental fate of resources such as phosphorus or petroleum. The foundation is analytical chemistry to identify what elements and species are present and in what quantities. This information is used to, for example, assess ecological processes.
