Presenter of the 2018 Purdue Engineering Lecture Series, Professor Paul T. Anastas is widely known as the “Father of Green Chemistry.”

In this talk, Anastas discusses a civilization-wide transformation necessary to achieve a sustainable society. This transformation will affect every aspect of life, including how we grow food, generate energy, use water, design products and communicate. These changes will only be possible if our way of thinking changes. It is worth thinking about what the future might look like and what role green chemistry might play.

Professor Paul T. Anastas is on the faculty of Yale University and holds appointments in the Department of Chemistry, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and at the School of Management. He has published 13 books on sustainable technologies.
