STAGES OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION:

  • 1988 - 1989:

    •  
University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
In the third year of the chemistry study specialized in Biochemistry. Extra subjects in Inorganic Chemistry: Synthesis and identification via UV/VIS, IR, Raman and NMR spectroscopies.
  • 1989 - 1991:
 E.C. Slater Institute (now Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences), University of Amsterdam; Amsterdam; The Netherlands.
Undergraduate research done in the group of Dr. R. Wever on electron transfer in cytochrome c oxidase; the electron flow was followed with UV/VIS spectroscopy.
  • 1991 - 1996:
 E.C. Slater Institute (now Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences), University of Amsterdam; Amsterdam; The Netherlands.
Ph.D. Research was done in the group of Dr. S.P.J. Albracht, titled: 'Exploring the Active Site of Nickel Hydrogenases'. The research included purification of the enzymes and characterization by different techniques, mainly EPR, FTIR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies. The last two techniques were done in collaboration with other groups. 

 

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND:
