I wish to express my sincere appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Mika Sillanpää, for his kind guidance and constant support, for giving me a chance to do research in Finland and for encouraging me to come back to complete my study after many years. Getting to know you is a true blessing in my life that is forever cherished.

I am greatly grateful to Dr. Reena Amatya Shrestha and Dr. Jurate Virkutyte, for their careful advices, instructions and encouragement. I would like to thank Marina Shestakova for her thorough comments that helped me improve my manuscript.

I am thankful to all my former and present colleagues at the Laboratory of Green Chemistry for their company. Special thanks to Anshy Oonnittan for her precious friendship, Heikki Särkkä and Mikko Rantalankila for their kind helps as always, and Amarendra Dhar Dwivedi for his positive discussions and encouragement. Moreover, lots of thanks and love to my wonderful girls for all the support, fun and nice times we have had together.

I acknowledge the financial support from the Maj and Tor Nessling Foundation, the Maa-ja vesitekniikan tuki organization and the Lappeenranta University of Technology.

Thank you very much Finland, the beautiful Land of Snow, for all the good memories and the nice people that I have met!

Thank you All for being my friends and a part of my life!

I also would like to take this chance to express the deepest gratitude to my beloved parents and angels for their endless support and trust in me.

With much love,

Halloween 2014

It was a funny and creative evening. We gathered together at Daniela's place, eating two kind of vegetarian dumplings sent from Poland by Ula's parents and drinking a special soup made from beetroot. After dinner, we decorated the kitchen, made up ourselves with scary images. Then, we even went outside to scare friends in other buildings. :D

Memories of Soc Trang

Dear my Soc Trang team,

Thank you so much for everything and for all of the nice time we have had together! I'm proud of you and proud of being a member of such a great team. I really enjoyed the last two years in Soc Trang, with lots of memories to remember. I don't know how to explain my feeling right now but I hope that you understand my heart. Miss you much already. Miss you...

All the best to you and to our project!!
Love you All, each and everyone.

Your little Daisy.
