Ana Vesperinas - Photodestructible Surfactants

PhD March, 2004 -

Ana is taking forward work carried out by  Margarita Sanchez-Dominguez in the area of Photosensitive Surfactants, sponsored by Syngenta. This is a collaborative project jointly supervised by  Dr Paul Wyatt in Bristol's Organic Chemistry section.

Ana received the honour recently of having her front cover for the RSC journal, Soft Matter, voted as the best front cover of the year. Click on the picture below to see a larger version.
