A particular highlight for me is the momentum gathered to incorporate green and sustainable chemistry into the curriculum at multiple levels across the world.
Dr Hurst has a real love of teaching, with his work centred around using innovative approaches to help students engage with – and contextualise – chemistry, with a particular emphasis on green and sustainable chemistry. To achieve this, he uses holistic systems-thinking approaches to equip the scientists, engineers and policymakers of tomorrow with the knowledge and skills to address complex, interdisciplinary and real-world problems, as outlined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
