etc.).   I   have   also   attended   a   workshop    on    X-ray  

crystallography-  "First   Workshop  on   X-ray  Crystallography, 

University of Mysore, India)". It has given me a opportunity   to  

know   recent   advanced   techniques    in   X-ray   diffraction 

studies. 



        I have also got experience with spectroscopy  techniques: 

UV, IR, and NMR (200 MHZ). 





Research Experience:

        

        After completing my M.Sc.  degree in Bharathidasan University with

a first class and M.Phil. degree in Manonmanium Sundaranar University, I

have completed my Ph.D.  under the guidance of Dr.P.Thomas Muthiah, Reader

in Chemistry, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirapalli, India.  I have got

training and research experience relevant to my research career through

various national and internatioanl scientific programmes.  I have also got

an opportunity to attend the "Xth Symposium on Organic Crystal Chemistry,

17-21 August 1997, Poland"  supported by the International Union of

Crystallography.  I have been working on synthesis and X-ray

crystallography studies on some inorganic complexes.  I have synthesized

Zn and Cd metal complexes and crystallized them using various

crystallzation techniques, charaterization of crystals by conventional

methods. The single crystal X-ray diffraction studies have been mainly

carried out for characterization of the compounds. I have analysed the 3-D

structures of compounds and the relevance to their properties.  I have

presented ten papers in a various national and international

conferences/symposia. My thesis deals with crystal structures of some

pharmaceutically importent molecules and their metal complexes.

POSTDOC wanted polymers or biopolymers

received 29 December 98 by BCA

Hi Everyone!

I wonder if someone out there can help me? I'm currently looking for a post- doctoral position in the SAXS world (starting after July 1999). I am interested in pursuing SAXS research in almost any area but especially in polymers or biopolymers. I am willing to consider moving to almost anywhere in the English speaking world (my French and German are very rusty).
My educational background is:


1999 PhD, University of Iowa, USA (anticipated graduation date July 1999)

     My current work concerns the absorption of HBr and HI into ice films as a

     model system for polar stratospheric clouds.



1996 M.Phil, (research degree), De Montfort University, England

     I worked with Professor Samar Hasnain at the Daresbury Laboratory, England

     and modelled the solution structure of nitrogenase protein and ch

     characterised the lobal closure upon nucleotide binding.



1992 BSc (Hons) 2(2), Chemistry, University of Salford, England

     I worked with Dr Trevor Crowley using SAXS to look at silica samples.

I have a copy of my CV on the web located at:

http://soli.inav.net/~monte/CV.html
Many thanks for your time and help.

PostDoc wanted

received 17 Apr 99 by BCA

My name is Yujie Han. Now I am a Ph. D. candidate of Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences and will be granted Ph. D. degree by June, 1999. I would like to apply for a postdoctoral position or visiting fellowship in your group, I hope to have the opportunity to pursue advanced studies in your department. I believe that my academic background (more than ten years research work on semiconductors, growth and defects characterizations, Pd/PdO MOS-type CO gas sensor, LED, LD, OEIC,), work experience (once sold self-made crystal growth equipment and related YBCO superconducting thin film growth technology transfer to university as project leader), and research interests make me a qualified applicant for your program.

I have participated in 14 major research projects (most of them are national key projects) as a member or team leader (5 of the 14 projects). I have strong ability to bring forth new ideas, work well with others, and work under pressure.
I am now working on III-V growth and characterizations as well as DFT calculations. I am proficient in a wide range of materials physics techniques and feel confident that I could be helpful to the research effort in your group from the very beginning.
