Dr Polson's chemistry career has focused on the study of ruthenium complexes. His first post-doctoral fellowship was in Canada, where he moved to larger arrays, attempting to make antennae to collect solar energy. His second post-doctoral fellowship in Italy involved time-resolved absorption studies on new iridium complexes. In his third fellowship, in New Zealand, he focused on the ruthenium complexes as catalysts for the oxidation of water and their characterization by X-ray crystallography. His current position, since June 2009, is Research Laboratory Technician at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Dr Polson's skills include the synthesis and characterization of novel complexes through NMR, mass spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, and he has extensive experience in chromatography. He also has experience with many photophysical techniques such as electronic absorption and emission spectroscopies, electrochemistry, transient absorption spectroscopy, Raman and IR spectroscopy and the spectroelectrochemistry of the above techniques. Dr Polson has written more than 30 peer-reviewed research articles for a wide variety of journals. Dr Polson began working with Edanz Editing in 2008.
