ESR Patricia Rabelo Monich and her supervisor prof. Enrico Bernardo of the University of Padova
Just over three years in the NEW-MINE project, we are very happy that our first ESRs are now graduating!
In February 2020, Patricia Rabelo Monich successfully defended her PhD and can now proudly call herself a doctor in Materials Engineering! Patricia studied under the supervision of prof. Enrico Bernardo of the University of Padova the characteristics of glass-ceramic materials. Patricia her PhD-project had the purpose to develop glass-ceramic materials with novel functionalities made with materials originated from the processing and conversion of the landfill waste, which are delivered by Work Package 2. The outputs of her PhD are the production of building materials such as dense and porous alkali activated materials with a low carbon footprint and chemically stable. Patricia now aspires to find a job in the industry related to sustainability.
Patricia published several papers in collaboration with other ESRs and supervisors. Below we highlight her peer-reviewed journal papers:
