1. Enlightening Water : Science, market & regulation of mineral waters in eighteenth-century France
Abstract : My thesis investigates the process through which French mineral waters were conceptually and materially transformed by the forces of market, regulation, and science during the Enlightenment. Tracing this process deepens current understandings of eighteenth-century societies, and presents a novel image of the development of medicine and chemistry. READ MORE

2. Mutual Favours : The social and scientific practice of eighteenth-century Swedish chemistry
Abstract : The dissertation is a study of the creation of chemistry as a science in eighteenth-century Sweden. It is argued that the chemists in the study participated in a network for exchange of scientific facts and all kinds of favours, in which science was both conducted, negotiated and created. READ MORE

4. Chemo- and Enantioselective Hydrogenations : The Struggle of Expanding the Substrate Scope of Iridium Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenations of Olefins
Abstract : The asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins is a facile and popular method of reaching chiral products. Whereas ruthenium- and rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations have a long history, the use of iridium in this area is new but fast-growing. READ MORE

5. Analytical Aspects of Atmospheric Pressure Ionisation in Mass Spectrometry
Abstract : The actual signal recorded with an analytical instrument is not always a true reflection of the analysed sample. In this thesis a further insight of the atmospheric pressure ionisation processes electrospray (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI) has been endeavoured, to provide a deeper understanding of and ways to minimize this bias.
