Nanotechnology

Riny Yolandha Parapat is a quality scientist. Her expertise in synthesis of nanocrystal via microemulsions technique. Her great passion is to create and develop nanomaterials especially in the field of catalysis. Because she is also concerned about the environment, her research is now heading to the field of green synthesis and biofuel production. Her advanced knowledge and experience in microemulsions making her able to synthesize and design the super active nanocatalysts in a greener way. She has discovered a new method to synthesize highly active supported nanocatalysts, so-called thermo-destabilization of microemulsions. Not only is she active in doing research, she is also a Lecturer in the course of kinetic and catalysis, experimental design, process control, and plant design.
