New Graduate Students join our Group
In August 16, 2021, new graduate students Tetiana Shevtsova and Bohdan Domnich started their PhD study in our group at Coatings and Polymeric Materials Department.
Tetiana and Bohdan received their Bachelor of Chemical Technology degree in 2019 and Master of Chemical Technologies of Food Supplements and Cosmetics in 2021, both from Lviv Polytechnic National University in Lviv, Ukraine.
Both Tetiana and Bohdan participated in CPM USURE program (during summer 2019 and winter 2020, respectively) .
Tetiana’s current research is focused on protein-based bioplastics films development. While Bohdan is working on a project related to plant oil-based latex adhesives.
