Burhan Awarded SCI Scholarship

Second-year PhD student Burhan Hussein has won a prestigious two-year Scholarship from from the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI). Congratulations Burhan! The SCI press release can be found here.

The SCI Scholars Fund was established in 1920 by the requests of Rudolph Messel and John Gray, both former presidents and founding members of SCI. SCI believes in nurturing the scientists of the future. Each year, SCI provides scholarships and bursaries to early career scientists including opportunities to attend or present at an international conference.

Burhan is a member of the Soft Matter and Functional Interfaces Centre for Doctoral Training (SOFI CDT), and a PhD Fellow of the Durham Energy Institute (DEI). Durham University, the SOFI CDT, and the DEI are pleased that Burhan Hussein has been offered this Scholarship and that his research into controlling intermolecular interactions at interfaces will benefit from the additional contacts and support he will gain from this valuable opportunity. In addition to the scholarship, he will benefit from publishing opportunities, access to a high-calibre network to help launch his career, and opportunities to present his work and raise his profile within the scientific community.
