I have spent over 250 days at sea collecting samples and gained invaluable hands-on experience in various analytical and oceanographic instruments. As a part of my research, I have been extensively using Canberra Alpha Analyst high-resolution silicon-surface barrier (PIPS) alpha detectors, high-purity germanium well detectors (HPGe), Risø low-level beta multicounter system and RaDeCC system.
