- PhD Title: Development of Sustainable Catalytic Processes for the Synthesis of Green Chemicals from Renewable Resources and Carbon Dioxide
- Year of Completion: 2027
PhD Overview
My passion for science began in Rwanda through simple experiments, such as making soap. This curiosity grew into a desire to understand how things work and how science can address global challenges. I began my PhD at Université Laval in Québec, Canada, in 2023, supported by the Schlumberger Foundation, Faculty for the Future program.
My PhD research focuses on developing sustainable processes to synthesize bio-based epoxides as renewable building blocks for green chemicals. I am also interested in carbon dioxide valorization and catalysis to transform greenhouse gas emissions into something of value to the world’s environment.
Sustainability Goals
- Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- Quality Education
- Responsible Consumption and Production
