ICMT has bade farewell to two of our most recent visiting scientists, Bernardo Santos and Maria Serenario. They have returned to Brazil's Federal University of Sao Joao Del Rei where they will be completing their doctoral research under the supervision of Prof. Alysson Helton Santos Bueno. During their time in ICMT they performed research on corrosion inhibition associated with our ongoing collaboration with TotalEnergies, Bernardo focused on pitting phenomena whereas Maria studied affects of corrosion product layers. They have already presented research posters from this work at the AMPP Annual Conference & Expo 2022, with manuscripts also in preparation for future publication. They have been supervised on a day-to-day basis by Dr Xi Wang and Associate Professor Marc Singer. It has been a pleasure hosting Maria and Bernardo, and we hope their paths continue to cross ICMT's in the coming years.
