Chemical Engineering PhD Candidate
Stanford University
Alexis Voulgaropoulos is a chemical engineering PhD candidate at Stanford University studying chemical recycling of plastics. She conducts research under guidance of Dr. Chris Tassone at SLAC National Lab, where she uses X-ray scattering to understand the fundamentals of plastic degradation and optimize chemical recycling catalysts. Alexis is also keenly interested in the intersection between chemical engineering and policy. Outside of lab work, Alexis is the Chair of the American Institute of Chemical Engineer’s (AIChE) Public Information and Information Committee, where she engages with AIChE members on policy issues pertaining to chemical engineering.
