Carina Costa PhD Thesis Defense

April 7, 2017

LSRE-LCM congratulates Carina Costa for her PhD thesis defense approved by unanimous vote by the jury.

Today Carina finished her Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Engineering, with the PhD thesis entitled Vanillin and syringaldehyde from side streams of pulp and paper industries and biorefineries, supervised by Prof. Alírio Rodrigues and co-supervised by Doctor Paula Pinto (now at RAIZ).

We are extremely proud of our young doctorates who have accomplished this task with hard work. We wish Carina a successful and bright life ahead.

Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM at “Semana: Profissão Engenheiro” FEUP 2017
