The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University Applied Sciences conferred this year’s awards for outstanding theses on Oct. 25, 2014. The prize winner for Chemistry with Material Sciences – sponsored by Siegwerk – is Marina Ley.
Important regional companies and other institutions annually donate prizes worth €1,000 each, which the Association of Supporters of the University Bonn-Rhein-Sieg then awards to graduates who excel with their theses.
Ley, who won the Siegwerk prize, finished her bachelor of science course in chemistry with material sciences in late August, completing her studies on schedule and with the grade 1.0 (the equivalent of an A+). She wrote her thesis on the topic of “Degradation of pharmaceuticals with electrochemically produced ozone in aqueous solution“ in English, impressing her professors so much that the thesis has been submitted for publication in the “International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry“ or the “International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment.”
“I am personally also very impressed by Ms. Ley and her achievement,” said Ulrike Lüneburg, head of HR at Siegwerk in Germany. “It was a pleasure to hand her the award sponsored by Siegwerk.”
“Ms. Ley will be visiting us before the end of the year to get an impression of our company and especially of the chemistry-related departments,” says Lüneburg. “In the meantime, she is continuing her studies with a master course at the Philips University in Marburg. We wish her all the best for that.”
