I've written my final essay on Gas chromatography,

have been working in the chemical industry since my 20 years old,
2 interships : -

- BRC petroplus holdings : in the lab doing GC , emission spectroscopy and some complextitrations

 - Evonik : as a process operator controlling the whole chemical procedure as well as doing some GC to monitor production in the lab

worked for Inza : doing microbiological tests ( hated it ) , vitamine C determination by titration , some physical testing ( density and viscosity )

currently working for ?? :

my specialties are : ( if i may say so ) outstanding analytical skills and thinking

Hi there,
I´m starting last year of my bachelors in bioinorganic chemistry so I have about 9 months to write my thesis. I want to get my PHD in the end and stay at university as researcher / teacher.

I realy like working in a lab although I sometimes lack patience but I didnt destroy any experience piece of glassware (yet )
I hope i can learn thing or two from you guys
cheers

Hi,

My name is Furquan Hassan. I am from Toronto, Canada. Just wanted to say hello to all the members here.

I have just started studying Chemistry. I find it very interesting. Unfortunately my teacher is one lazy person  , he does not teaches us anything at all that is why I am here in this forum and made it as my homepage. I am looking forward to study engineering in university which means I need a firm ground in chemistry and physics.

I have just started and I am pretty seriously into it, therefore I will be asking a lot of questions (starting from the basics) from my bro's and sis's here in this forum. For every question I will be leaving my name in the heading "[Furquan]".  I hope you will help me in this journey.

Hello and welcome

[Borek]

Welcome to the forum.

For every question I will be leaving my name in the heading "[Furquan]"

Please don't, we prefer subject to tell us what the question is about, not who posted it.

G'day! My name is Brodie & I'm from Australia. I'm currently studying for my Engineering Degree & I work for a desalination company.

I've grown to love the chemistry side of both work & study & hope to learn more from you guys in this forum.

I'd be keen to hear from anyone else from down under :-)

Hey im Asalam and ive recently been pursuing an interest in chemistry. I have started distilling and condensing home made alcohol for research purposes and am studying as much as i can on biochemistry through tutorials, documents and research online. Would love help to learn more and hopefully will pursue a degree as a mature student in biochemistry.

Hi everyone!
I'm a master student in polymer science in Brazil. I joined the group to discuss about polymers!! =)

I'm a High School Sophomore taking regular Chemistry, and I developed a passion for the subject while partially disabled due to Accutane. I like doing home experiments, to the dismay of some of my family members, and enjoy being able to take the science into my own hands. I'm very inexperienced and ignorant compared to the very advanced individuals on this site, and I hope you will bear with me and my occasional stupidity. Thanks -

Nick

I am new here.  I love learning chemistry, but it doesn't come easily.  I know for some it is a gift.  For me, I hope it is a skill that I can learn with practice.

Hi everyone, my name is Tyler. I'm a Junior in high school. Every since freshman year, when I took chemistry, I've been very interested in chemistry and chemical engineering.

So far the chemistry (or chemistry related) classes I've taken:

• High School Chemistry
• General Chemistry
• Organic Chemistry 1 (at Lawrence Technlogical University)
• Engineering Materials (at Lawrence Technlogical University)

And next semester I'm taking Physical Chemistry 1, Engineering Materials Lab, Differential Equations (took Calculus 3 this past semester and got A), and Engineering Statics.

Anyways nice to meet all of you 
(I'll post my blog I just started in the advertising and on my profile, I'd love to get opinions on good self-study textbooks)

Hey everyone. Im new here and want to get into chemistry. I don't know much at all but in the past few days I have made all kinds of cool things doing experiments with chemicals found in my home. It would be great to get some guidance on making new things. The basic chems I got are Aluminum sulfate, Magnesium Sulfate, sodium bicarbonate, Copper acetate, sodium hydroxide, acetic acid, citric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonium hydroxide. I know that there is so much I can potentially make with all this. It would be amazing if anyone could help get me started.. Thanks Joey Ups

[Molaris]

Hello everybody! My name is Chris and I'm thrilled to be here with people who love chemistry!! I am an undergraduate chemistry major in southern California. Looking foward to being on here.

Hi i'm Papou, I am from Canada and I am here to see how much people could teach me more before I go back to school as I wanna study chemistry !

[AlphaScent]

Hello All,

My name is Bob.  I am 25 years old and am currently a production chemist for a small company specializing in insect pheromone technology.  I graduated from SUNY-ESF in Syracuse, NY in 2011 with a B.S. in chemistry.  I am returning to start my graduate work at the same institution this fall in elucidation and synthesis of organic compounds.

I grew up in the Buffalo area and was always intrigued by the field of science.  I enjoyed physics immensely after reading "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene.  Though taking my first differential equations class I realized I would not be a major player in string theory and would just stick to chemistry full time. 

Cheers!!
