Doctor of Technology in Analytical Chemistry

After graduating as a Master of Science in Engineering Physics from Luleå University of Technology I was offered and acceåpted the position as PhD student of analytical chenmistry at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Geosciences. The research project centered around plasma mass spectrometry, mainly working with improving methods of analysis. I wokred together with two PhD colelauges on this, mainly with a Electron Finnigan Neptune ICP-MS, but also other laboratory equipment. The research was made in collaboration with Analytica and their clean enviroment lab.
