Jan R Lien turned 70 this Friday

Our warmest wishes for his birthday which he already celebrated in advance with a seminar which took place on January 21!

Jan harvested there much well-deserved praise for his efforts regarding UoB over the past 44 years, especially for his pioneer efforts in the field of petroleum research and PTEK .

We are eternally grateful, Jan – you have been and still are a highly valued colleague, and we wish you all the best as emeriti!
