We are pleased to announce that SciTech-Service’s Cellulosic expert team is strengthened by two new members:

Dr. Lê Huy Quang has been nominated as Project Scientist – Regenerated Cellulose, starting 11.8.2020.
Dr. Lê earned his doctorate in 2018 at Aalto University, Finland, in the field of lignocellulosic biorefinery technologies. Until completing a parallel post-doctoral assignment in a project related to the production of textile-grade dissolving pulp at Aalto, in Professor Herbert Sixta’s group, Dr. Lê’s assignment in SciTech is part-time.

Mr. Risto Hertzberg, M.Sc., has been nominated as Project Engineer, starting 12.8.2020.
