Mireille Amandjigbeto

Mireille joined the ALGC - Materials Modelling group as a joint-Phd with the Université d'Abomey-Calavi (Benin) in December 2020, under the supervision of Prof. Frederik Tielens and Dr. Gaston Kpotin from de Université d'Abomey-Calavi. She is working on the adsorption of pharmaceutical molecules in silica materials such as MCM-41. In particular the separation and extraction from waste water is investigated using DFT tools. The calculation of vibrational spectra from molecular dynamics simulations will be used to explore the adsorbate/adsorbent interaction at the molecular level.
