Congratulations
to Dr. okoye ugochukwu on his convocation. Patrick is Reaction and Adsorption Engineering group member (READ) at the School of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). He worked under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Bassim H. Hameed on “the development and characterization of reusable heterogeneous catalysts
for glycerol upgrading to fine chemicals”. In recognition of his research
skills, he was awarded the prestigious USM fellowship during his study. Dr.
Patrick showed a great diligence and extensive knowledge capacity related to
his field of research. Thus, he published over five articles in top ISI-indexed
journals within 2.5 years of his Ph.D. study. His thesis was nominated for
Universiti Sains Malaysia best thesis award from School of Chemical
Engineering.
