Two presentations in Ostrava

Our group started the new year by attending the 7th Catalytic Seminar at the Institute of Environmental Technology, Technical University of Ostrava. It was the first opportunity for our 2nd year PhD student Sharmistha to present her work and get feedback from the audience of experts. She presented her work on "Modified TiO2/SiO2 material as a support for ester hydrogenolysis catalyst". Another PhD student Snehasis presented his latest work on "Hydrodeoxygenation of anisole and guaiacol over alumina supported Ni and Cu catalysts". Besides our student’s presentation, there were other interesting topics like transesterification of citronellol or catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 reduction which has enriched our knowledge and will also help us to improve our research work. Moreover, the seminar allowed us to meet professors and PhD students from universities across the Czech Republic. We are grateful to the organizers for their warm hospitality and a productive conference.
