Biography:
Dr. Virginija Kepenienė got her PhD degree in 2012 at the Department of Catalysis of Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) on an electroless deposition in the group of Prof. Eugenijus Norkus. After a post-doctoral internship related to the investigation of catalysts for alkaline fuel cells at the FTMC in the group of Dr. Loreta Tamašauskaitė-Tamašiūnaitė (2013-2015) she continued her work as a researcher at the same Department in relation to synthesis and investigation of various nano-scale materials for fuel cell reactions. She has been working as a senior researcher since 2017. Virginija Kepenienė actively participates in scientific activity: carries out experimental investigations, participates in projects as well as in students training, supervises Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD’s works and students practice projects. She is co-author of 21 publications, among them 16 keynote author. 47 contributions to conferences, of which 25 is the keynote speaker. Co-author of the Lithuanian patent.
