My name is Elaine Gabutin Mission.
Hello!
Dr. Mission obtained her Ph.D. in Advanced Technology (major in Applied Chemistry and Biochemistry) from Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan, though the MEXT scholarship. Her research revolved around the depolymerization of natural biopolymers (cellulose and fucoidan from macroalgae) into fermentable sugars using water in subcritical conditions as the sole solvent under the synergy of microwave irradiation and graphene-based carbocatalysis. Her work has established microwave-carbocatalysis synergism which significantly contributed towards green and sustainable chemistry due the reduction in solvents and auxiliary steps to achieve good results.
