Dr Georgina Margaret Rosair

Dr Georgina Rosair is a Scientific Officer specialising in X-ray diffraction, in particular single crystal diffraction.  She studies the structures of molecular compounds made by chemists at Heriot Watt and their collaborators such as metallacarboranes, organometallic and organic small molecules with applications in photo catalysts and photosensitisers and compounds of  pharmaceutical interest. Her role includes powder diffraction on materials used in carbon capture, and metal deposition on thin films. She is also involved in teaching inorganic chemistry, particularly practical laboratory courses.
