Congratulations to the winners of the Green Chemistry and Reaction Chemistry & Engineering poster prizes at the Electrosynthesis Faraday Discussion!

28 Aug 2023

The Faraday Discussion on Electrosynthesis was held from 12-14 July 2023, in Edinburgh, UK and online. Green Chemistry and Reaction Chemistry & Engineering were pleased to support best poster prize awards at this event and we would like to congratulate our winners!

Green Chemistry winner

Mickaël Avanthay (University of Bristol, UK)

Poster title: Mediated Silane Oxidation: A practical and metal-free counter-electrode process for electrochemical reduction reactions

Mickaël completed his undergraduate studies at ETH Zürich and then completed the AstraZeneca R&D graduate program in Sweden before starting a PhD in the Lennox Lab (Bristol) to investigate reductive electrochemical methods. His areas of interest are novel defluorination methods and new techniques to make electrochemical reductions more practical and scalable.

Reaction Chemistry & Engineering winner

Zach Nguyen (University of Utah, USA)

Poster title: Electrolyte Induced Cage Effects for Enantioselective Electrosynthesis

Zach is currently completing his Ph.D. studies with Shelley Minteer at the University of Utah, where he also received a B.S. in chemistry. His current research interests are sustainable electro organic synthesis and mechanistic investigations using electrochemistry. Outside of chemistry, he enjoys exploring the Wasatch mountains, where he enjoys being an avid photographer, skier, and fisherman.

Green Chemistry celebrates the 20th anniversary of the journal at ISGC-2019

28 May 2019

The ISGC 2019: International Symposium on Green Chemistry was held from 13–27 May 2019 in La Rochelle, France.

The conference aimed to gather the most eminent scientists involved in the field of green chemistry to debate on the future challenges of chemistry, keeping in mind the problems of access to a sustainable energy, the management of resources (carbon, water, metals, minerals), human development, global warming, impact on the environment, competitiveness of industry.

On 15 May, the conference morning was dedicated to Green Chemistry journal, with a special symposium held to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the journal.

Green Chemistry Executive Editor Anna Simpson and Green Chemistry Editorial Board member and ISGC Conference organiser François Jerome chaired the symposium, introducing speakers from Green Chemistry Editorial Board and Associate Editors: Tao Zhang, Rajender Varma, Helen Sneddon, Elsje Alessandra Quadrelli and Keiichi Tomishige. Chair of the Green Chemistry Editorial Board, Philip Jessop, closed the symposium, sharing some of his own work as well as the future directions for Green Chemistry journal.

Green Chemistry was also pleased announce the following poster prizes winners who received RSC Books:

Yannik Louven, ITMC RWTH Aachen, Germany. Poster titled: Production of N-Vinyl-Pyrrolidones from Bio-Based Carboxylic Acids and

Eduarda S Morais, CICECO, University of Aveiro, Portugal. Poster titled: Bacterial nanocellulose membranes loaded with phenolic-based ionic liquids for cutaneous application.

Congratulations to Yannik and Eduarda on receiving these prizes.

All speakers at the ISGC 2019 conference are invited to submit a paper for considerations in a Green Chemistry themed collection. The collection will be appearing later this year. Find it, and other themed collections, online: here.
