      I was fascinated by molecular models as kid and I guess I wanted to know all about them. I had a great chemistry teacher in high school but not such great physics teacher.

      My field of photovoltaics (solar energy) means I sit right on the boundry between physics, chemistry and materials science and most of the people I work with have a degree in one of those subjects.

      I was never into biology, partly because I was never any good and drawing diagrams!

      Which is your favourite subject?
