Chemical Engineering Professor Tizazu Mekonnen: Polymer Engineering and Sustainability 

Professor Tizazu Mekonnen, Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Multiphase Polymers (Tier II) discusses his research interests in designing sustainable plastics ( multiphase and multifunctional polymer systems with biodegradation and composting considerations), in upcycling and recycling of polymers.
His research considers end-of-life for plastics as well as developing energy-efficient processes to produce plastics. He designs sustainable plastics for a range of applications in chemical and environmental engineering. His research group develops plastics for environmental applications such as air filtration and water treatment. To mitigate climate change, his research group designs plastics from carbon dioxide capture.
