Green Chemistry @ MUN

Ning Yan (Assistant Professor, National University of Singapore) has many research interests similar to our group.

His team have recently published their results on chitin conversion in the journal Green Chemistry. Fran Kerton collaborated with them on this research, and is looking forward to visiting their group this summer to further collaborative efforts.

Ning’s paper is featured in the blog of the RSC journal Green Chemistry and by a twist of fate was summarized by Jenna Flogeras (Graduate Student, Kerton Group). Jenna is performing research on CO2 activation and polymerization reactions.  Other students in the Kerton group (Yi Liu, Greg Curtis and George Margoutides) are performing research on chitin, chitosan and aminosugars.
