  Trinity College Dublin

  Sept 2011 - Dec 2013

  Research organic chemistry post graduate student in Professor Mathias Senge group in Trinity College Dublin, focusing in the area's of synthetic light harvesting (porphyrins) systems. The main focus of the work was structural determinations of porphyrins using NMR, MS/MS, UV-Vis and single crystal X-ray diffraction, with all analysis and data being collected , screened, solved and refined myself. This includes the single crystal X-ray diffraction dataset collection and data interpretation. The role of an assistant warden, is concerned with pastoral care, development of community and student discipline. In a community of just over 1,000 young students quite a range of issues crop up ranging from anti-social behaviour to quite serious cases involving residents in severe distress for one reason or another. The role of Assistant Warden is therefore one which requires tact, sensitivity, maturity and above all trustworthiness.
