Final Year Project (Bachelor's Degree), 01/2023 - 08/2023

• Sustainability of Solvent Extraction Method in Recycling Marine Plastic Waste
• Validation of the potential of the dissolution-reprecipitation technique in recycling marine plastic waste
• Evaluation of the effect of various temperatures and times on dissolution rates in recycling marine plastic waste
• Evaluation of the environmental impact stemming from the employment of dissolution-reprecipitation technique in recycling marine plastic waste using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools

Science Team Project (Bachelor's Degree), 01/2021 - 04/2021

• Prediction of Water/Oil Interfacial Tension for Enhanced Oil Recovery via Molecular Dynamics Simulation
• Utilized PyMOL and GROMACS for the quantification of Interfacial Tension (IFT) in water/oil mixtures, encompassing various combinations including toluene, n-dodecane, and toluene:dodecane, in conjunction with a surfactant composition
• Projected the influence of temperature and pressure on the IFT of these mixtures, enhancing our understanding of their behavior under varying conditions
