Asma Sharkway received the Best Student Contribution prize

July 3-6, 2017

Asma Sharkway has received the Best Student Contribution Prize from the Scientific Committee of the 25th International Conference on Bioencapsulation held at La Chapelle sur Erdre (Nantes), France on July 3-6, 2017

The work presented at this conference Aroma encapsulation for antibacterial and eco-friendly textile finishing was part of Asma’s Master Thesis entitled Vanillin encapsulation for eco-friendly textile application and performed at LSRE-LCM under the supervision of Professors Alírio Rodrigues and Filomena Barreiro.

We congratulate Asma, who will soon join again LSRE-LCM as PhD Student with a scholarship from FCT/PDEQB.
