Congratulations to Dr. Maria I. Andronikou on the successful defense of her PhD in Chemical Engineering at the Cyprus University of Technology.
During her PhD, Maria showed dedication, perseverance, and excellent scientific work through her research on metal-assisted anaerobic systems for CO₂ conversion to CH₄ and biogas upgrading under mild environmental conditions.
Her work has already led to three publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, including Chemical Engineering Journal, Bioresource Technology, and Environmental Science and Pollution Research, with several other manuscripts currently in preparation.
I would also like to sincerely thank the members of her committee, Associate Professor Georgia Antonopoulou from the University of Patras and Associate Professor Dr. Achilleas Constantinou, for their time, valuable feedback, and contribution to the process.
As her supervisor, it has been a privilege to work with Maria throughout her doctoral studies and to see her develop into an independent researcher. I am very proud of her achievements and wish her every success in the next chapter of her career.
Congratulations, Dr. Andronikou!
