Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM congratulates Margarida Linhares de Andrade Rocha e Silva for her PhD thesis defense on 8th October 2018 at FEUP.

Margarida finished her Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering, with the PhD thesis entitled ''Nitrogen-Doped Graphene as Metal Free Carbon-Nanocatalysts'', supervised by Prof. Fernando Pereira (LSRE-LCM) and co-supervised by Prof. Cristina Freire (REQUIMTE/LAQV, FCUP).

The staff and team of LA LSRE-LCM wish Margarida a successful and bright life ahead!

The 13th International Chemical and Biological Engineering Conference (ChemPor 2018) took place at Cultural and Congress Center of Aveiro from 2nd to 4th of October. The leading Portuguese event in Chemical and Biological Engineering Conference was organized by University of Aveiro and Ordem dos Engenheiros.

Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM was strongly represented by 32 Researchers. During this International Conference, LSRE-LCM researchers presented 12 Oral Communications and 20 Posters Communications.

LSRE-LCM won 2 from a total of 3 Awards gave out by the Organizing Committee of ChemPor 2018!

Ana Catarina Moreira (PhD Student) has received the Best Oral Communication with her work “A novel continuous production of melamine based microcapsules with a skin-hydrating active principle for textile applications using the NETmix technology”. This work is a part of a co-promotion project called TexBioPro in partnership with University of Coimbra and the leader company, Devan Chemicals.

Joana Matos (Researcher Project) and Margarida Brito (PhD Student) have received the Best Poster Communication with their work “Lagrangian Mixing Simulation and Quantification of Scales”.

These awards comprise a certificate and a monetary prize.

LA LSRE-LCM congratulates the winners of the awards and also all the researchers who have participated at ChemPor 2018!
