CV in PDf (updated April 2008)

I am a postdoctoral fellow in Salmeron's group (Materials Science Division). I'm currently working with Mous Tatarkhanov.We are using a variable temperature UHV Low Temperature STM designed by Claude Chapelier and constructed by Jim Dunphy, Stefan Behler and Mark Rose. Our main research topic is the adsorption of water on Pd(111). We will investigate the different stages of H2O adsorption from one molecule to few monolayers at various temperatures (from 40K to 160K). Several issues will be addressed: isotopic effects (D2O), clustering, diffusion, surface active sites, manipulation, and co-adsorption with other small molecules.
