WORK EXPERIENCE

Postdoctoral Research Fellow Sept 97-to date

University of St. Andrews, ST ANDREWS, Scotland.

Research involved in the preparation of new precursors for MOVPE growth of (Hg,Cd)Te. Preparation of suitable alkylHgI compounds and their volatility and decomposition properties by GCMS. Postdoctoral Research Fellow July 93-June 97

University of Dundee, DUNDEE, Scotland, UK.

Physiological, biochemical research project involving the use of stable isotopes in metabolic studies. Specifically involved in the development of Continuous Flow Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (CF-IRMS) in order to measure isotopic enrichment/incorporation in muscle proteins and transporter proteins. I have managed, maintained and developed new techniques for the Europa Scientific 20-20 Stable isotope mass spectrometer. Postdoctoral Research Fellow Nov 89-June 92

University of Bern, BERN, Switzerland.

Research involved syntheses, structure elucidation and kinetics of osmium-en and -tmen complexes. Gained valuable experience in single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and NMR spectroscopy. The research was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Postdoctoral Research Fellow Jan-Sept 89

University. of St. Andrews, ST ANDREWS, Scotland.

Research involved the application of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy in the study of alkali metal ion transport across phospholipid bilayers. The research was funded by the SERC. Research Technician Jul-Dec 1983

Huddersfield Polytechnic, HUDDERSFIELD.

Worked on a project investigating Lead levels in drinking water and playground dust in educational establishments around the Huddersfield area. I gained experience in colourimetric, polarographic, and atomic absorption spectroscopic techniques.
