Talk, Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, Irvington, New York, USA
This was a presentation I gave at a job interview for a position of a post-doctoral researcher in Daniel W. Savin’s group (Columbia University in the City of New York).
July 29, 2016
Talk, Riken, Wako Campus, Saitama, Japan
This was a presentation I gave at a gigantic recruitment event for a position of Special Post-doctoral Researcher at Riken. I must say that I did not get the job even though I got quite far: I was on a waiting list, so if someone had refused the offer, I would have got it. It is quite pity that I had to throw away the research idea.

Talk, Sport- und Bildungszentrum Lindow, Lindow, Germany
This is a presentation about my negative results at Clustertreffen 2015. I studied low temperature phase transition of medium-sized negative water clusters (H2O)n-, n=50. Our hypothesis was that the clusters undergo glass transition. The way how to test this hypothesis was to vary a rate of cooling, i.e. the rate of relaxation of the internal structure. Precooling set-up was built but the project suffered from inability to specify and reliably reproduce conditions of cluster formation in an aggregation source. I believe that if we cannot quantify the generation conditions we do not know which initial structure the cluster has, therefore it is impossible to fix relaxation conditions. The project was abandoned for experimental difficulties.
