Lehigh Nano for Business 2010 Conference
0 Comments Published by Sean June 25th, 2010 in Science, Work.On May 26, 2010, I attended the Lehigh Nanotech Network’s Nano for Business 2010 Conference. I was invited to speak as a panelist on the “Health and Safety” panel. Below is a picture of me on the panel with Frank E. Ehrenfeld III, Laboratory Director, nanoTEM and IATL, ASTM D56.03 and Mike McGuiness, [...]
One of my company newsletter articles in EMPFasis, a monthly Navy deliverable from the Electronics Manufacturing Productivity Facility or EMPF, was reprinted in the April 2010 issue of “Printed Circuit Design & Fab / Circuits Assembly”.
Other articles that I wrote have covered:
Problems related to surface finish quality that lead to solderability issues.
Cleanliness and corrosion mitigation [...]
I am going to be adding some more information soon on the following topics on which I have worked.
Computational Chemistry
DFT calculations for HOMO-LUMO band gaps, energy levels, and electron cloud visualization.
Molecular Modeling
Organic Synthesis
Reaction Mechanisms
Polymer Synthesis
Kinetics
Instrumental Analysis
Examples of the types of results/data in the form of concentrations, graphs, images, spectra, etc.
Summary of each of the techniques [...]

When a magnetic field is applied to the fluid, the particles of iron compound inside align to it creating a fluid solid. Click here for more information.
Scientists Turn Skin Cells Into Retinal Cells
0 Comments Published by Sean August 27th, 2009 in Science.“The retina is a lush layered field of tissue lining the back of the eye, a complex mix of specialized cells that serve as a transfer station where light signals are absorbed and sent to the brain to be translated into sight.
Researchers from University of Wisconsin, Madison have now created these unique retina cells from [...]
