Green Chemistry
Every year the Editors of ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering,鈥痺orking in partnership with the鈥疉CS Green Chemistry Institute recognize the research contributions of scientists, working in green chemistry, green engineering, and sustainability in the chemical enterprise, who have completed their academic training within the past 10 years. Lectureship award winners are selected for three regions: The Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Asia-Pacific.鈥疘n this GC&E Friday, you will be hearing the amazing work of these astounding researchers and how their work is moving us one step closer to a sustainable future.
What You'll Learn:
Discover groundbreaking work in green chemistry and sustainability.
Learn about new methods for pollution control and polymer recycling.
Hear from researchers across the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Asia-Pacific.
Who Should Attend:
Speakers
Hong Chen, Associate Professor, School of Environment, Southern University of Science and Technology, Dr. Hong Chen is an associate professor at the School of Environment, Southern University of Science and Technology, leading a research group that develops green and low-carbon technologies for pollution control and the circular utilization of critical elements within various industrial waste streams.
Athina Anastasaki, Associate Professor, Department of Materials at ETH Zurich, I am a proud Greek, and I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials at ETH Zurich, where I lead the Laboratory of Sustainable Polymers. My research focuses on depolymerization, specifically breaking down polymers to recover their original monomers. Our goal is to develop efficient and lower temperature methods to promote polymer circularity and ultimately reduce plastic waste.
Milad Abolhasani, ALCOA Professor and Graduate Program Director, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NC State University**, I鈥檓 the ALCOA Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NC State University. I also serve as Director of Accelerated Technologies within NC State's Integrative Sciences Initiative. My academic journey began with a B.Sc. and鈥疢.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, followed by a Ph.D. at the University of Toronto. After a postdoctoral stint at MIT, I joined NC State University and launched the Self-Driving Fluidic Lab group. Our team studies the science and engineering of autonomous robotic experimentation integrated with flow chemistry to reshape how materials and molecules are discovered, synthesized, and optimized.
