Raquel Pinto Rocha PhD Thesis Defense

March 28, 2018

LSRE-LCM congratulates Raquel Pinto Rocha for her PhD thesis defense approved by the jury.

On 28th March 2018 Raquel finished her Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering, with the PhD thesis entitled Carbon Catalysts for Liquid Phase Reactions, supervised by Prof. José Luís Figueiredo and Prof. Fernando Pereira.

The supervisors are extremely proud of the hard work developd by Raquel during the last years as well as the team and staff of LSRE-LCM!

We wish the best luck for the beginning of this new professional stage at LSRE-LCM.
