Mina Ghahremani,
a 5-year PhD student in organic chemistry at the Institute for Advanced
Studies in Basic Sciences, Zanjan, Iran, in the Group of
Professor Babak Karimi is
approaching the end of her third year toward her doctorate. The PhD is
jointly mentored by Mario Pagliaro at Italy's Research Council.
Concerning the design and preparation of novel electrocatalysts
based on hydrophobic ordered mesoporous silica functionalized with
nitroxyl radicals by EASA method and their application in organic
synthesis, Mina's work has lately resulted in impressive
outcomes
that are undergoing publication in the international scientific
literature.
Together, the team has already published an highly read
account on electrochemical alcohol oxidation mediated by nitroxyl tadicals.
Full Professor in organic chemistry at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences since 2006, and member of the
Iranian Academy of Science since 2014,
Babak Karimi
is an eminent chemistry scholar renown for his achievements in
catalysis and materials chemistry. His current research interests
include new types of supported catalysts
based on nanoporous inorganic solids and polymers, as well as the
development of novel synthetic methodologies.
Founded in 1991, the
IASBS was established with the aim is to educate advanced
young scholars through high-level teaching of basic sciences and fundamental and applied research. The Institute operates
both
master and doctoral degree programs, while endeavors
to engage in scientific, technical, and cultural cooperation with other
educational institutions and industry.
