Assistant Professor Dr. Laila Jassim Abbas chaired the discussion committee for the master's thesis tagged (Study of the Prduction Development of Biodiesel from Duckweed and Oedogonium) by student Hala Jaber Ali, Department of Chemistry in the College of Science at Dhi Qar University
 Where the thesis included a research to develop a green method for biodiesel production by collecting samples of water lentils and odogonium algae from sewage plants in Najaf province, then drying them and extracting the oils contained in them by several methods, including soxylite and the ultrasound method, and then converting these oils into esters by the esterification reaction.  Reciprocity to obtain the ethyl ester of the triglyceride.  The products were analyzed using GC-mass techniques, and infrared rays to confirm the identity of the products.
