BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Illinois Wesleyan University’s Earl H. and Marian A. Beling Professor of Chemistry Ram Mohan has been appointed as an associate editor of the Green and Sustainable Chemistry (GSC).
The GSC covers subjects relating to reducing the environmental impact of chemicals and fuels by developing alternative and sustainable technologies that are non-toxic to living things and the environment. The editorial board, which will now include Mohan, draws from professors across the globe, from countries such as China, Spain, India, Morocco, Italy, Poland, Hungary and the United States.
Mohan’s research at Illinois Wesleyan focuses on developing environmentally friendly organic synthesis using bismuth compounds. Bismuth and its compounds are remarkably non-toxic and attractive from a green chemistry perspective. As an associate editor, Mohan will recommend papers for publication in the journal and review submitted manuscripts.
