Funded by the intramural Grant of Beirut Arab University, Dr. Nada Darra visited the School of Engineering of the University of Glasgow from 29^th  January till the 2^nd of February 2018. The visit aimed at starting a project with  Dr. Ian Watson, Reader in Applied Energy in the School of Engineering, University of Glasgow entitled “Investigation of Alternative treatments for Fumigation of Dried Food Products”.  where prior to Dr. Nada's visit, an experimental set up for decontaminating of the chilli flakes using combined technologies: Infrared, UV and Ozone was prepared.

During her stay, Dr. Nada and Dr. Ian were able to co-develop the system and performed some microbiology experiments on the system performance and controls. 

The second target of her visit was to apply for ICM (International Credit Mobility) funding i.e. Erasmus plus, to expand the collaboration between BAU and the University of Glasgow to other schools and colleges.
