On 26 September, the European Researchers’ Night took place at National Museum of Natural History and Science (MUHNAC-ULisboa). The project CANMILK was presented, showing how plasma and catalysis can help reduce methane emissions in agriculture. At the stand, researchers from CQE and IPFN used real catalysts and a puzzle game to explain these concepts to the public.
Farzaneh Ostovarpour was awarded a CANMILK grant to start her PhD! She will work on the development of surface kinetics models for methane oxidation. Farzaneh graduated from Guilan University with a bachelor's degree in Solid State Physics and did a Master's degree in Plasma Physics at Kharazmi University. Her master's thesis focused on on wave-breaking phenomena in multi ions systems with PIC simulation.
Congratulations and welcome to the team!
CANMILK (CArbon Neutral MILK) took part in Técnico's Open Day 2025, an event designed to promote the research developed at the university, bringing more than 2,700 visitors. Throughout the day, CANMILK's researchers presented their scientific foundations and showed how their interdisciplinary research is helping to combat climate change.
A multidisciplinary team involving the N-PRiME team of IPFN and the CATHPRO and MET teams of IST's Center for Structural Chemistry (CQE) has joined project CANMILK (CArbon Neutral MILK) under the competitive Horizon Europe Hop-on facility.
