I remember the moment when I met him first time. He convinced me to go ahead for the research to focus on science. The most memorable sentence which he told me is “I will take the challenge.”. With his impact decision, all situations flowed naturally, and I also reacted to produce fruitful output. I really liked to discuss with him whenever I had curiosity and questions in any kinds of topic. It had always been my strong motivation to go through the meaningful road. Especially, I could learn about Artificial Photosynthesis by approaching various points of view. Thank you for being my supervisor. I would like to thank Dr. Winfried Leibl. He is my great advisor both in research and life. If someone ask me ‘express him in some words’, without hesitating, I would say ‘wisdom and warmness’, which I like most. We often shared the research idea, tried and finally succeed. Among his teaching for me, mainly I learned photophysics and understood the principle of photocatalysis. I am thankful to Dr. Zakaria Halime. I was impressed with his passion toward the research. I could learn a lot from the beginning to the end! How to synthesis, characterize metal complexes, control the parameter to make crystal, and work in glove box….all about chemistry! When I asked about science, anytime he opened his heart and he spent time for me. Especially, I will miss his joking which makes me fun during working. I thanks to Dr. Marie Sircoglou. She took care of my safe and security so I could be careful about my experiment. For the ion pair study, her comments helped me to approach in depth. Thank you Dr. Annamaria Quaranta. When I used instruments in CEA, she helped me a lot. I was happy when you commented to me for my presentation during weekly seminar. I liked the environment which we could discuss freely. 5 Many thanks to Dr. Christian Herrero for EPR measurements. I would like to thank Dr. Régis for analysis crystals. Also, lots of thanks to Dr. Eric for the magnetism measurements. You all explained the data analysis carefully and always you welcome me! I appreciate to Dr. Sébastien Richeter and Dr. Yann Pellegrin who accepted the task of being reporters of my defense. They reviewed my thesis report and commented to support the results. Furthermore, I would like to thank Prof. Pierre Mialane, Dr. Eric Doris, and Dr. Charles Devilliers for examining my thesis. I always try to find for diverse challenging & rewarding higher education and the SERP-Chem which was my master program in Europe made it possible for me which I am always thankful for. Above all, I thanks to Prof. Sandrine Lacombe who is the director of the SERP-Chem Program, she listened to me always and suggest better way for me not only during master but also during my Ph.D. I appreciate to people in Institut de Chimie Moléculaire et des Matériaux d'Orsay (ICMMO) at Université Paris-Sud, Institut de biologie intégrative de la cellule (I2BC) at CEA Saclay. In addition, thanks to École doctorale for the financial supporting during my Ph.D. Last but not the least, I am always thankful to my family members. My study in Europe was fully supported by your love and pray! Jin Choi, my husband since my master in 2014, thanks for his following to cheer me up throughout my Ph.D degree have been memorable. Especially my lovely babies (puppies) Sun & Moon, you are my sunshine and moonlight during day and night. Let’s make new road for the bright future together to be happy. 6 7 8 The goal is not to be perfect by the end. The goal is to be better today.

  • The Trouble with Words
    6331_Anholt_01_jm.qxd 11/24/99 3:17 PM Page 1 1 The Trouble with Words Once upon a time, there was an airline which decided to run a spe- cial promotion on its busy route between Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and London, England. Aware that here was rich potential for linguistic di- saster, the marketing department decided to play safe and have their London agency devise a simple poster in English, which could then be safely translated into Arabic. “Fly to London this Autumn,” ran the line, “and save up to 20% on the normal return fare.” The posters were made, the campaign ran, and the promotion was a huge success. Such a success, in fact, that the following month, the people in the Saudi office decided to throw a party for their English colleagues. At the party, the marketing manager for the Middle East drew aside his English colleague and said, “I’d just like to thank you for the excel- lent poster you created for us. I’m certain that it was the main reason for the wonderful success we’ve had. That famous English creativity! I’ve been saying it for years. We need a bit more of that over here!” The Director of Marketing was flattered, and thanked his col- league, but the man carried on: “It was so unexpected, so . off the wall, so zany. I just don’t know how you people keep coming up with these ideas.” The Director of Marketing began to feel confused: “Well, you know, we weren’t even trying to be especially creative on that ad— you should see what we can do when we really pull out all the stops!” 1 6331_Anholt_01_jm.qxd 11/24/99 3:17 PM Page 2 THE TROUBLE WITH WORDS But his Saudi colleague just replied, “Ah, the famous British mod- esty! No, in my book, it was genius.

  • The Ageless Gergel
    TO THE UNCAGED GERGEL: LONG MAY HE SING! If you already know Max Gergel, skip this preface. You'll want to get directly to the interesting part of this book. For that matter, if you don't know Max Gergel, you can also skip this preface with very little loss. It's a rather fulsome declaration of affection for one of the world's truly unique, truly unforgettable characters. Life with — or even near — Max is never boring. The man's vitality is downright awesome, as is his cheerful zest for living and his enormous affection for his fellow man (and woman!) If Max is somewhat slowed up (as he cheerfully complains) in his present "youthful old age," it's not readily apparent to most of his colleagues. He continues to maintain a level of personal and professional activity that would wear out most of us just contemplating his current international jet-hopping. I don't really think of Max as "growing" on someone — more accurately, he "explodes" on you and you are immediately a full- fledged family member for ever thereafter. In a way, it's rather too bad that Max chose Chemistry as a profession. From Max's many lectures, the world is only beginning to realize that it lost a world-class comic in the process. No matter how many times I hear the story of Preacher's unpublished synthesis recipes, I laugh anew. To hear Max tell of his adventures and misadventures with his family, his employees, the government, his neighbors, his competitors — anyone with whom Max has had an interface — is to be reminded of the human condition and (tragedies notwithstanding) how, in Max's hands, never-endingly interesting it continues to be.
