PhD in analytical chemistry

I am an expert on petroleum, its composition, the composition of its many products – light hydrocarbon gases (natural gas, methane, liquefied petroleum gas), gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, naphtha, mineral and lubricating oils, wax, asphalt, petroleum coke).

I am an accomplished analytical chemist and expert in chromatography and molecular spectroscopy (infrared, ultraviolet absorbance, fluorescence, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry). In that role, I developed several Good Laboratory Practices compliant chromatography methodologies, as well as ones to determine octanol-water partition coefficients and to determine solubilities in water and other solvent systems.

I am a recognised world-class expert in the chemistry and analysis of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). I have over 100 reviewed publications and numerous book chapters, and authored the books The ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ and Analysis of the Large Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, J. C. Fetzer, John Wiley and Sons, New York, p. 1-288 (2000) and Career Management for Chemists, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, p. 1 -266 (2004).
