“Green chemistry is on the rise,” said Amy Cannon, who received the world’s first Ph.D. in green chemistry from UMass Boston. “Now more than ever, we need scientists with these (green chemistry) skills.” UMass Lowell is producing green chemists through its revamped sustainable chemistry Ph.D. program, a recently added sustainability specialization in the chemistry master’s program and a new sustainability option for undergraduate chemistry majors. The department’s inaugural symposium highlighted the research of UMass Lowell professors and students who are contributing to sustainable practices in chemistry through projects that include filtering toxic chemicals from water and reducing the amount of plastic in landfills.
