andygeo07 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hi everyone! Just wanted to start a new thread about everyone's current research interests... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygeo07 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 I suppose I'll start...last year, as part of my honors thesis, I researched Oklahoma's seismic activity and correlated it with buildings and other structures to see what might be at risk. This year, I'm researching a compound, ZnCdS, that was sprayed by the Army in 1962 and trying to find it in local soils in hopes of seeing if the Cadmium is still bound to the compound. If it isn't, then that might mean bad news for local residents since elemental cadmium is carcinogenic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hephaestus Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi from Sydney, designed, synthesised and investigated the host-guest interactions and exchange properties of nanoporous molecular materials. If that makes sense to anyone. Was honours and then PhD project. Finished last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I have done a PhD on mechatronics and control theory. Lots of mechanics, mechanical engineering, electronics and especially mathematics. I switched career after that. Now I'm working in IT as software engineer. Chemistry/experimenting is a hobby for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I received my Bachelor's of Science in Forensic Chemistry. The degree taught me about thinking "outside of the box" and quite analytically. I now look at the big picture more than ever before and try and see every possible problem that can arise. While I never got a career in chemistry (as honestly the chemistry field is very limited in terms of jobs and actually quite boring), everything I learned really helped me out in my current career path. I now work as a Clinical Data Coordinator who directs various teams of people in the running and management of data in a Clinical Trial of new drugs. The work I do every day helps very sick people live longer, and happier lives. The ability to think "outside the box" and see the big picture is what I appreciate most. Chemistry has remained a hobby of mine and my element collection brings me great pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokele Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I do biomechanics and animal locomotion, specifically on arboreal snake locomotion, which has never before been described. My first chapter was on the kinematics (cycle duration, etc), and my second will be on the muscle activation patterns. Mokele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenoise Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I work with non-coding RNA's. Designing methodologies to isolate new classes. Working on my masters in Biochemistry. Have three projects going in paralle now, and it's starting to make me a little... ...high strung to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
