Julia van Drunen has been granted a FAPESP postdoctoral fellowship to pursue research at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) in Brazil. The proposed research focuses on the electrochemical conversion of biomass and biomass waste products into valuable chemicals and electrical energy. This research project fits in well with Brazil’s booming biofuel industry and the global initiative towards environmentally sustainable energy systems. FAPESP (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, Foundation for Research Support of the State of São Paulo) is a government agency that supports both Brazilian and international research within the state of São Paulo. The FAPESP postdoctoral fellowship provides researchers with financial support for two years and also funding to participate in national and international conferences.
