A doctoral dissertation defense entitled: ​“SONOPHOTODEPOSITION: COUPLING OF SONICATION AND PHOTODEPOSITION IN THE SYNTHESIS OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE – BASED PHOTOCATALYTIC MATERIALS” by our group member Agnieszka Magdziarz (MSc, Eng.) took place at Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (18.12.2017).

Supervisor: Juan Carlos Colmenares Quintero PhD DSc Assoc Prof IPC PAS

This dissertation was prepared within the International PhD in Chemistry Studies at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. The PhD thesis Evaluation Committee has gave unanimously an especial distinction for this scientific work which is related to the studies on the working mechanism of this novel methodology (sonophotodeposition) for (photo)catalysts’ synthesis.

Our sincere congratulations to Aga!!! Very well-done!!!
