I take care of the Raman and Infrared Spectroscopy instruments in the lab and give training to researchers in operating the instruments and how to correctly perform experiments. Colleagues can always ask me questions about research problems or if they need help with interpretation of vibrational spectroscopy data. I also manage procurement activities and can please all kind of order, especially IT and expensive lab instruments. I also take care of data back-up of leaving research members.
