CHANCE Fellow Tackles Sustainable Chemistry

CHANCE 2007 Costa Rica and Panama Fellow Panagiotis “Noti” Mikroudis, is a 2008 Penn State graduate of biology who launched his career by working as a hazard communication specialist at a small chemical regulations consulting firm. Noti is now a senior product safety representative at one of the largest chemical/high-tech polymer companies in the world where he evaluates products for safe use and handling including environmental assessments. With the high demand for more sustainable products and manufacturing processes, new formulations as well as new uses for existing products present new challenges for the chemical industry. So, to advance his knowledge and skills, Noti will begin a part-time, environmental science and management masters program at Duquesne University in January, 2020 to help tackle these demands.
