Dr Xiaoguang Duan Senior Lecturer / ARC DECRA Fellow Global Highly Cited Researcher Deputy Director of Research School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials The University of Adelaide, Australia Tel: +61 08 8313 3867 Email xiaoguang.duan@adelaide.edu.au 2 March 2022 To whom it may concern, I am writing to support Mruddual Sojitra for the application in your institute. Mruddual graduated from School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials, The University of Adelaide (UoA, Australia) with Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical – Sustainable Energy) and Honours degree. I have the chance to know this promising young student because he selected my research project using modified carbon nanotubes to decontamination of organic dye pollutant in wastewater. Mruddual has did a fantastic work in the research project to select the best candidates for adsorption and catalysis and investigated the mechanisms in catalytic oxidation reactions. As a results, Mruddual got HD for both Research Project and Project Design. Therefore, Mruddual has very good foundations for both Sciences (chemistry, materials, catalysis) and Engineering (chemical, energy, and environment). Mruddual have two internship as research assistant in the world-class labs in UoA. He is good for teamwork and can communicate and collaborate with other group members. He can speak fluently in English and his writing skills for academic work is sufficient. Therefore, I believe that Mruddual would be a worthy candidate for your consideration.
