Paul T. Anastas joined Yale University as Professor and serves as the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale. From 2004-2006, Paul Anastas has been the Director of the Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, D.C. Until June of 2004 he served as Assistant Director for Environment at e White House Office of Science and Technology Policy where his responsibilities included a wide range of environmental science issues including furthering international public-private cooperation in areas of Science for Sustainability such as Green Chemistry. In 1991, he established the industry-government-university partnership Green Chemistry Program, which was expanded to include basic research, and the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. He has published and edited several books in the field of Green Chemistry and one of the inventors of the 12 principles of Green Chemistry. Alexei Lapkin is Professor of Sustainable Reaction Engineering at the Univeristy of Cambridge. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath in 2000 and held a Lecturer position until 2009. He then moved to University of Warwick, School of Engineering, to help to develop their research programme in Chemical Engineering. In 2013 he took over his position in Cambridge.
