User Review
( votes)Project Summary:
Naphthalene is the most abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon detected in urban air and contributes to photochemical air pollution. The chemical transformation of naphthalene in the atmosphere generates a range of secondary pollutants including ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) which are known to have an adverse effect on human health. In this project, a comprehensive programme of laboratory studies will be performed on the atmospheric degradation of naphthalene in order to determine the oxidation products and the yields of SOA. Experiments will be performed in atmospheric simulation chambers using GC-MS and FTIR spectroscopy for the identification of gas-phase compounds and aerosol mass spectrometry for the particle phase species. This experimental data will be used to construct a validated chemical mechanism that can be used to predict the impact of naphthalene emissions on regional air quality.
The PhD student will join a multidisciplinary team of researchers in the Centre for Research into Atmospheric Chemistry at University College Cork and also work at the new Environmental Research Institute.
Funding:
This project is funded by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Expected starting date: 1st October 2008.
Annual stipend is on average €17,000.
Fees for EU students are paid.
Applications:
Applications, in the form of a detailed CV, are invited from candidates with at least a 2:1 grade in Chemistry, Physics or Environmental Science.
Further information can be obtained from Dr John Wenger ([email protected])

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Name: KISHORE BABU.RAGI.
Seeking for: Ph.D in Atmospheric chemistry.
Firstly, I would like to introduce myself as a graduate student from the university College, KAKATIYA UNIVERSITY, WARANGAL, INDIA. I completed my course of M.Sc in physical chemistry, which was for the period of two years during the academic years 2003-2005. I graduated with 67.2% . I was ranked among top five in the class.
During the Five years including three years of my bachelors course with Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics as my optional subjects. I gained in-depth knowledge in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. During my graduate study, I gained a sound knowledge in KINETICS,THERMODYNAMICS, SPECTROSCOPY, REACTION MECHANISMS in organic and in-organic chemistry, ELECTROCHEMICAL ANALYSIS and PHOTOCHEMISTRY. During my B.Sc , I learned a lot of Mathematics including calculus, and calculus based physics.Out side of my college, I have learnt computer languages like C,C++ and FORTRAN 9o. I am quite practical and rational, with the way I look at the problem during the course of the five years, I mastered these subjects with rational thinking and get the doubts clarified through practicals. During my graduation, I attended few seminars: a seminar conducted on IMPORTANCE OF COORDINATION COMPOUNDS IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS, in which I took part as a member of organization, by prof: S. SRIHARI.; two departmental seminars by Osmania university professors- Seminar on GROUP THEORY by prof: K.VEERA REDDY., professor of chemistry, Osmania university and seminar on RETROSYNTHESIS by prof: DEVID KRUPADHANAM, professor of chemistry, Osmania university. All these seminars taught me how to enquire new things.
Every problem has a solution and environmental problems are no exceptions. Solution is nothing but finding out where the problem is. Keeping this and zeal to serve the humanity, in mind, I decided to do my research in the field of atmospheric chemistry. As we know atmospheric pollution is mainly anthrapogenic. We can reduce much its pollution by controlling human activities which are responsible for increasing pollution. To tell the truth, I have a plan to write about the environment, but who listens to the people who says passively. So I strongly decided to do active research, so that I can have influence on people. I am confident, I could contribute something to the world.
The graduate course as well as my experience as a laboratory instructor at JAGRUTHI DEGREE& P.G COLLEGE has provided me with a strong base for further growth in my desired field. I would like to delve deeper in the field of my choice and their research aspects completely. I hope to acquire the requisite professional skills and develop a thorough understanding in these areas.
I wish to contribute these area and indulge in a research which ultimately should have a meaningful contribution to science and to the living things. I AM confident that my academic capability and analytical skills coupled with my perseverance and single minded devotion will let me achieve my goal. To this end, the first step is a sound graduate study in a field of atmospheric science.
It is my belief that knowledge gained has to be shared. I believe that imparting knowledge is an enjoyable and satisfying experience. I have enjoyed giving ideas, lectures, making presentations at the college during my masters. And now I have been happy to share my knowledge to my students. Hence, I am eager to obtain a Graduate Assistantship. Consequently, I understand that the choice of university is of paramount importance. After going through your web page and consulting my professors , I reached the conclusion that , with its reputed faculty, excellent facilities and tradition of academic excellence will be the ideal place to work towards fulfillment of my goal. Moreover, I am confident that the wholesome education that I will receive at the will stand me in a good stead throughout my career
