Academic degrees:

Master of Science in Engineering, Biotechnology, Lund University, Sweden

Thesis aim and objective:

My area of research is focused on synthesis of novel green surfactants. By enzymatic treatment different moieties can be introduced to generate surfactants with new interesting properties. My primary interest is focused around phospholipids and modification of the hydrophilic head group using phospholipases, followed by characterisation to investigate how these modifications changes the surface active properties of the molecule.
