Starting - kickoff notes for PhD Candidates of the ABC Program, at Politecnico di Milano, Italy (A=Architecture, B=Built Environment, C=Construction Engineering)
Analytical Chemistry - Principles and Practice.pdfANAYNALLELYLAPON
This analytical chemistry textbook has been compiled based on a laboratory skills instruction manual format, to assist any laboratory worker who has not had the opportunities to obtain formal education and training in simple laboratory procedures or is reading undergraduate chemistry or a science course. It could also be used as a teaching aid for lecturers and professors, in general analytical principles and practice. The book contains 25 chapters, many diagrams and photographs, as well as 20
appendices of useful tables and may be considered as an introduction to basic principles and operations or processes of analytical science, which is an applied science and art, whereby knowledge of the science, laboratory skills and the art, are used to obtain answers (e.g. for dissertations, laboratory data or test results) to problems such as: – What test procedure to use for what type of sample composition or research work?
– What apparatus to use for that evaluation or investigation? – How to use that apparatus or instrumentation? – Is the test result or research data obtained precise, accurate and scientifically credible?
– Does the result show that the product, raw material, specimen, test or research item, or sample is within quality specifications and standards; or whether the results prove or disprove a hypothesis?
Keywords are listed at the beginning of each chapter, for ease of use and indexing. There are some sections of text that has been repeated throughout the book.
The intention of the repetition is to gain the attention of the reader or student to remember and note those sections or comments. Note: whilst every reasonable care has been taken in compiling this technical
chemistry book to ensure the accuracy of the information supplied, the author does not accept any responsibility for any errors or omissions or any consequences thereof.

1. The “whys and wherefores”
of being a scientist
Why ? How ? What ? And to follow ?
Thierry (Titi-san) Fouquet, PhD (JSPS fellow)
Kumagaya high school, Feb. 15th
35. Two examples (1)
35
“Total synthesis”
(the art and science of
replicating the molecules of
living nature and creating
others like them in the
laboratory)
K. C. Nicolaou, Proc. R. Soc. A 470: 20130690
36. Two examples (2)
36
Collaboration with an Art Restorer
(understand the origin of glueing failure)
Results currently used by:
Getty Museum, Los Angeles (US)
Grabart Art Conservation Centre (Russia)
39. An unexpected journey
• After high school
39
“Classe préparatoire aux grandes écoles”
Higher School Preparatory Classes two (very) intensive years preparatory course for
enrollment in one of the grandes écoles (Engineering schools)
The workload is one of the highest in the world
40. Step 1
• Engineering School
– Three years to refine your choice
(chemistry, physics, economics, mathematics, …)
– Major: Chemistry with a strong emphasis on mathematics
40
What I was
supposed to
become
What I chose
41. Step 1.5
• Engineering School
– Three years to refine your choice
(chemistry, physics, economics, mathematics, …)
– Major: Chemistry with a strong emphasis on mathematics
– Last year: MSc in Analytical Chemistry (double degrees)

- Stay in Japan for a couple of years more
- Or settle the US for a while
- Research center or company
Much more money
(on average)
Little freedom
77. Handy hints
• “Network” + supervisors (keep in touch)
• Do not neglect the other domains
• Keep learning English
