Short presentation
I have since a young age been fascinated by chemistry. Me burning Bengal fires in the backyard of the apartment house where I lived was not very popular. A few years later, in the mid 70ies, I came in contact with the first hand calculators and computers. An abandoned HP computer at my school became the subject of mine and a friends interest and care. These events molded me so when I got the chance to join the two interests into a profession I made sure that I didn't miss the opportunity.
