Dr. Ecaterina Stribiţcaia and Dr. Shuning Zhang graduated today. Massive congratulations!!

Date

Massive congrtaulations Dr. Ecaterina Stribiţcaia and Dr. Shuning Zhang for graduating today with their PhDs from School of Food Science & Nutrition, University of Leeds. Ecaterina is now a scientist in Unilever, UK and Shuning an Assistant Professor in Jiangnan University, China. Shuning's PhD was on “Behaviour of food grade Pickering emulsions stabilized by plant-based particles under in vitro digestion conditions”. And Ecaterina's PhD was on  "The influence of food texture on satiety and satiation". We wish you both great successes and lots and lots of happiness.
