I have a PhD. In materials engineering. In which I synthesized and studied water adsorption and oxidation reduction behavior in nano-sized particles of Ce1-x-yUxThyO2 compositions. I operate both the XPS and the BET instruments, both are essential in surface science applications. My expertise is surface characterization utilizing spectroscopic methods like the XPS with its many other capabilities like UPS and REELS. Additionally, I have extensive knowledge on adsorption isotherms and temperature programmed desorption/oxidation/reduction.
