Miquel Duran’s Summary
Even though I am a Professor of Chemistry at the University, my interest has spun off towards imaginative use of creativity. Magic, lateral thinking, the GTD method - everything helps.
I have served the University of Girona as vicerector for two different periods (1994-2002 and 2007-2009). I have slso served the Departament of Chemistry in the 2003-2007 period.
As a researcher I work in three main areas of Chemistry: influence of electric fields on (1) structure and reactivity of molecules, (2) weak bonding and (3) electron density methodology. Computers, paper and pencil are my simple tools.
I am also an amateur magician who enjoys practising and conjuring mentalism and mathemagics.
Blogging, nanoblogging, socially networking, blended imaginative creator - these may be my keywords.
Dealing with University affairs, e.g., teaching, research and service, reminds me of 3-ball cascade juggling. I could spend a lot of enjoyable time there.
