Paul T. Anastas joined Yale University as Professor and serves as the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering there. From 2004–2006, Paul was the Director of the Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, D.C. Until June 2004 he served as Assistant Director for Environment at the 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 developed the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.

Alexei A. Lapkin, originally trained in biochemistry at Novosibirsk State University, specialized his master thesis in catalysis and membrane separation. He then worked at Boreskov Institute of Catalysis (Novosibirsk, Russian Federation) in the area of membrane catalysis, before joining the University of Bath in 1997, first as a research assistant. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Bath (2000) under the supervision of Professor John W. Thomas and then began his independent academic career.
He joined the University of Cambridge as Professor of Sustainable Reaction Engineering in 2013. His research focuses on methods of developing cleaner chemical manufacturing processes, in particular in the areas of specialty and pharmaceutical chemistry, but also works on the process intensification concepts and chemical reactor technologies suitable for many application areas, from scaled manufacture of controlled-functionality nanomaterials to inherently safe methods of catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons. The focus on methods allows his group to branch into diverse application areas, while retaining the core specialism in process development. His group is also contributing to the work on the methods of evaluation of sustainability of chemical processes and products.

The volume on Green Chemical Engineering was envisaged as an outlook at the possible future of chemical engineering – where the discipline with long traditions and enormous societal impact and importance is likely to develop. The discipline of chemical engineering is extremely diverse due to the universal applicability of the chemical engineering toolbox. As a result, this volume does not cover all the topics that might be associated with the practice of chemical engineering. Many important traditional areas, such as safety, control, separations, industrial reactor design, are not included in this book. Instead, its focus is on the emerging capabilities and the expanding links to the neighboring basic and applied sciences – biology, chemistry, physics, and applied mathematics. In most areas of chemical engineering, we observe the same trends – increased use of sensors, extensive use of computer-aided tools based on advances in fundamental understanding of physical, biological, and chemical phenomena, much better predictive power of models, and increased capability in integration of knowledge across multiple timescales and length scales. At the same time, some problems of green engineering and sustainability are better solved by other means, for example, by devising new business models or adopting new manufacturing capabilities within chemical engineering, such as additive manufacturing and robotics. The distinctive character of chemical engineering is its systems perspective on the problems. This is most fitting to the current societal challenges of climate change, access to water, sustainable production of food and energy, and closed material cycles. In this volume, our shared attempt is to perform “system expansion” for our discipline and demonstrate the potential advances that are offered at new scientific interfaces, especially in solution of the sustainability challenge.
