Dr. Kwan Mo You graduates from Sarkar Lab, Congratulations Dr. You

Date

Massive congratulations to Dr. Kwan-Mo You, 7th PhD student from Sarkar Lab graduating from University of Leeds. Kwan shined in his amazing PhD on "The oral tribology of biopolymer mixtures" funded by European Research Council (ERC) with multiple papers published in Food Hydrocolloids, Scientific Reports, Journal of Texture Studies, Food Quality and Preference and a book chapter. He did highly innovative studies on tribology of water-in-water #emulsions as well as Pickering water-in-water emulsions stabilized by sustainable alternative protein-based microgels opening new areas of aqueous lubrication. All the best Kwan on your postdoctoral work.
