Latifa Alostad
PhD
I am currently undertaking my second year of PhD at University of Warwick, Chemistry department. My PhD will be focusing on characterization of heavy crude oils and vacuum residue fractions using FT ICR MS to develop better understanding of its composition. I will also explore SARA fractionation using various ionization techniques.
My scholarship is funded by Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR).
