Emmanuel Anegbe

My journey began with an undergraduate degree at the University of Benin, Nigeria, where I graduated with a first-class degree in Industrial Chemistry. Following this, I was awarded the Extra EU Scholarship for a master’s degree in chemistry at the University of Calabria, Italy, where I pursued a study path in Chemistry of Environment, Health, and Local Resources. This programme exposed me to advanced theoretical and practical courses in chemistry as well as laboratory training in techniques such as NMR, MS, FT-IR, DSC, DSR, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and chromatography

Alongside coursework, I interned and conducted thesis research at the Physical Chemistry and Applied Materials Lab under the supervision of Prof. Cesare Oliviero Rossi and Dr Paolino Caputo in Italy where I explored the thermal behaviour of bitumen,  conducted rheological studies of organogels using a dynamic shear rheometer (using a novel gelator on oil to mimic the effect of palm oil, to support palm free products with the goal of sustainable practices for environmental concern) and participated in research which involve using waste products to improve polymer-based packaging material using Fourier transform Infra-red spectroscopy and dynamic scanning calorimetry for characterization.

In light of this, I am excited to deepen my research experience at FunGlass, and I’m ready to bridge chemistry complexities and processes to applied materials for real-world applications, specifically in health and the environment.
