GREEN ROSE CHEMISTRY - Key Persons
Founder Anna Zhenova has deep roots in the world of academia, learning about chemistry at universities like Caltech, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of York.
Anna leads Green Rose Chemistry and works directly with clients to solve their green chemistry problems. During her Ph.D. at the University of York, she noticed the market need for high-quality, on-demand green chemistry research for industrial applications, and founded Green Rose Chemistry to meet it. Her speciality is solvents, polymers, and their interactions. Anna excels in translating academic expertise to real-world applications, and has a rather unscientific fondness for clear communication and polished graphics.
After receiving a Ph.D. in the applications of biobased solvents, James developed the S4 methodology for solvent selection at the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence (University of York) in 2014. He was the first to demonstrate the use of Cyrene™ as a solvent, and continues to investigate safer solvents and sustainable polymers as a post-doctoral research associate at York.
Tabitha obtained her Ph.D. at the University of York carrying out research into sustainable solvents. She has experience in multiple academic research projects at the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, including polymer recycling and waste valorisation. With a background in chemical emergency response, working with many clients across the chemical and transport industries, she brings an understanding of hazard classification and chemical regulation to her research at Green Rose Chemistry.
