About

I am a creative chemist with a solid base on crystallography, inorganic and organometallic synthesis. During my PhD studies I also learned new insight about surface chemistry silica nanoparticles doped with lanthanide ions, which I investigated with spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, luminescence, IR and UV-vis.
