USD 50 /hr

PhD and 10 years experience helping clients solve X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and materials science problems.

Profile Summary

A PhD from the University of St Andrews and 7 years working at the World No.2 Materials Science Department at NTU, Singapore. I specialise in X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and structural chemistry. I have done remote analysis for clients, allowing them access to a reliable, trusted data without having to hire internally. I also do materials science consultancy, as I am able to provide a broad knowledge of structural chemistry to solve your problem and move forward. I am now Director of Baskerville X-ray (www.baskervillexray.com), providing X-ray courses, outsourced analysis and X-ray diffraction equipment.
