IB EE
Received a full scholarship from the Liaoning Provincial Government of China to join a PhD program.
Undertook significant literature reviews, papers, and experiments.
Applied troubleshooting skills to deal with occasional machine malfunction thus improving the lab work efficiency.
Prepared experimental plans and designs.
Investigated and selected catalysts for biomass pyrolysis to improve of the overall yield of desired products.
Disclosed a new research area to Research Group
Expressed leadership by getting assigned by my direct supervisor to assist and train newly arriving international students.
Acquired the following competencies:
1. lignocellulose biomass pyrolysis,
2. biomass to fine chemicals,
3. catalysts for biomass pyrolysis
4. analytical techniques
5. (GC, GC-MC, SEM, FTIR, XRD, DSC, CHNS/O-analyzer)
Published three papers, two of them in high-ranked journal:
1. Microwave-assisted catalytic pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for production of phenolic-rich bio-oil, Mamaeva et al (Bioresource Technology)
2. Catalytic fixed-bed pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for production of phenolic-rich bio-oil, Mamaeva et al (Atlantis Press)
3. The effects of mineral salt catalysts on selectivity of phenolic compounds in bio-oil during microwave pyrolysis of peanut shell, Mamaeva et al (Korean Journal of Chemical engineering).
The most effective way to prep: personalized one-on-one sessions with your custom-matched tutor.
