Celebrating Ili Syuhada Mohd Daud and Srinithi Muthuraman submitting their PhD theses. Ili studied the antimicrobial efficacy of lemongrass extract emulsions and Srinithi explored the complexities of biofilm EPS. Well done to both of you. These two students started their studies during the difficult Covid times. We look forward to your success in your oral examinations later this year.
