Saeid Faraji received the SEMS PhD Research Excellence Award with his paper, Surface chemistry of carbon steel in contact with CO2 streams containing impurities.

So if you want to understand how to generalize the Pourbaix diagrams to CO2 environment, and how to predict the order of layers on the surface of iron, and why in 2060 we expect the mode of steel corrosion to change due to the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere - read Saeid's article.

Good job, Saeid! Waiting for your next paper.
