PhD Defence | Novel Starch Nanocomposites, by Sungho Park

You are welcome to attend Sungo Park's final PhDÌýdefense, in which he will discuss hisÌýresearch into developing a technology to characterize and process environmentally friendly materials using starch as co-polymer andÌýnano-filler. The research aimed to extend the range of properties of starch materials while maintaining environmental benefits and competitive physical properties for applications such as packaging and agriculture.

The Department of Chemical Engineering is hosting the PhD defence of Maryam Omidvarm, a PhD candidate from the University at Buffalo, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering.
