“I am inspired by new knowledge. In the process of teaching and conducting research, we are constantly expanding our horizons and improving our skills. Ekaterina Markova, Associate Professor of the Department of Physical and Colloidal Chemistry at RUDN, plays an important role in my scientific activity. She motivates me to go forward and not to stop at what has been achieved. Step by step we move forward in the realisation of our project. In the future we plan to build a pilot plant for wastewater treatment. I am sure that it will make a significant contribution to environmental protection and provide access to clean water in the region,” —  Ksenia Seromlyanova.
