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).
