A SUPA funded industrial placement at L'Oreal by Dr. Niek Hijnen

Organisation: 
L'Oreal, Paris

Having just finished my PhD and working as a PDRA with ECFP at the University of Edinburgh, I was offered the opportunity to go on a 3 month secondment, funded by the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA), to L'Oreal in Chevilly-Larue, Paris. Florence Levy, who is leading L'Oreal's Applied Fragrances Research group, had offered a project studying the complexation of fragrance molecules.
