PhD student

Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland

October 2013 - October 2017

Doctoral thesis: Functionalised gemini surfactants as corrosion inhibitors (synthesis, aggregation behaviour, biodegradation, aquatic toxicity and corrosion inhibition efficiency of the gemini surfactants)

Supervisor: Prof. Bogumił Brycki

 

Trainee, Erasmus + Programme
