ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering supported catalytic materials using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Specifically, she is working towards using electron paramagnetic resonance to investigate the spatial distribution of hydroxyl groups on silica and applying solid state nuclear magnetic resonance in combination with dynamic nuclear polarization to elucidate the structural characteristics of P-modified zeolites and alumina- supported vanadia. As an IRES and Chateaubriand Fellow, she has had the opportunity to conduct research as a visiting student at RWTH Aachen (Germany) and the University of Lille (France), respectively. The Crossroads Fellowship Program allowed her to broaden her scope of knowledge by offering an interdisciplinary platform that merges chemistry, chemical engineering, and environ- mental sciences, such that she could explore an area different from her primary research investigation. pubs.acs.org/journal/ascecg Perspective founder of Spero Renewables, a clean tech company that provides cost-effective and renewable substitutes to petrochemicals (sperorenewables.com/). Mahdi was elected Fellow of the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2012 and was a Senior Fulbright Fellow at the Weismann Institute in 2008. Dr. Abu- Omar completed a Ph.D. from Iowa State University (1996) and a postdoc from Caltech. Jun Hee Jang is currently a Ph.D. candidate in chemical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Prior to joining UCSB, he received a M.S. at Seoul National University with a research project focused on the microscale- and nanoscale-patterned membranes for wastewater treatment. In the Abu-Omar research group at UCSB, his research project aims at developing renewable materials for energy and environmental applications. His research areas include the synthesis of inorganic heterogeneous catalysts (metal and metal oxide catalysts), materials characterization with a variety of analytical techniques, biomass valorization, optimization of catalytic reactions, and polymer degradation. Susannah L. Scott holds the Duncan and Suzanne Mellichamp Chair in Sustainable Catalysis at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is jointly appointed as a Distinguished Professor in both the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry and Bio- chemistry. She earned a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Alberta (Canada) and a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from Iowa State University. Her research interests include the design of heterogeneous catalysts with well-defined active sites for the efficient conversion of conventional and emerging feedstocks, as well as environmental catalysts to promote air and water quality. At the University of California, Santa Barbara, she founded the interdisciplinary Mellichamp Academic Initiative in Sustainable Manufacturing and Product Design. Mahdi Abu-Omar holds the Duncan and Suzanne Mellichamp Chair in Green Chemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research accomplishments include selective conversion of biomass lignin to biophenols and the creation of renewable plastics based on lignin. He has authored/coauthored nearly 200 original research articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals, supervised more than 40 Ph.D. students, and held faculty appointments at Purdue University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Mahdi is the Sangwon Suh is a Professor at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he also serves as the director of the Chemical Life Cycle Collaborative (CLiCC) that developed an online tool for sustainability assessment of chemicals (clicc.net). He earned a B.E. in civil and environmental engineering and an M.E. in environmental engineering from Ajou University (South Korea) and a Ph.D. in industrial ecology from Leiden University (The Netherlands). His research focuses on the interface between technologies and the environment. In particular, his work concerns the sustainability of human−nature complexity through understanding the materials and energy exchanges between them. https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.9b06635 3506 ACS Sustainable Chem.
