Congratulations Dr. Kotb!

Our final year group member Yosra Kotb successfully defended her PhD dissertation on “Colloidal Stability and Adhesivity of Safe and Sustainable Polymer and Biopolymer Films”. Throughout her PhD, Yosra achieved significant milestones by working on several projects and collaborated extensively with various industries. Additionally, she effectively represented the Velev group at several national and international conferences and symposiums and mentored many undergraduate and MS students.

As Yosra starts her new corporate journey with Solvay, we wish her the very best in all her future endeavors. 🙂
