Wan Zuraida Wan Kamis’s graduation

Congratulations to Wan Zuraida Binti Wan Kamis who received her PhD during the April USM 2016 Convocation ceremony! Zuraida’s thesis entitled "Synthesis and characterization of mixed-oxides (Cr, W, Tu, Mn) catalysts to produce FAME from palm fatty acid distillate, non-edible and waste cooking oils.", was supervised by Prof. Dr. Bassim H. Hameed. She published three research articles in ISI-indexed journals, Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers (Impact Factor: 3.000), Energy Conversion and Management (Impact Factor: 4.380) and Bioresource Technology (Impact Factor: 4.494). Congratulations!
