- Mina Ghahremani, Ph.D. student in organic chemistry at the Institute
for Advanced and Studies in Basic Sciences (
IASBS), Zanjan, Iran, under
the supervision of
Prof. Babak Karimi, has ended today her 6 month
international research stay at Italy's Research Council in the Labs led
by Dr Pagliaro.
Her brilliant work on new generation sol-gel
gold catalysts has
resulted in a joint
research article
entitled "Green and Direct Synthesis of Benzaldehyde and Benzyl
Benzoate in One Pot" just accepted for publication in
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.
During her stay, Mina has also co-authored a Perspective
study entitled
"Single-Atom Catalysis: A Practically Viable Technology?" first
published as
preprint
on Preprints.org
Co-authored with University of Corboba's Professor
Rafael Luque, the
work will be shortly submitted for peer review at a
top chemistry
journal.
"
Working at your Labs" said Mina in a comment "
has
been a great opportunity. I learned a lot and carried out great
research in your nice research Group, getting valued experience. I am
so thankful, and definetely look forward to working together again".
"
We are grateful to Iran's Ministry
of Science and Technology for the grant that made possible Mina's research stay
in our Labs" said Dr. Pagliaro "
and will continue to collaborate with Mina and with Professor Karimi at the IASBS".
Creating long-lasting
research networks, improving career prospects, and easing the production of high-impact publications,
short-term research stays today are the main form of international mobility in science.
