CB3 Core Faculty

CB3 Core Faculty
Rebecca Braslau	My research team uses synthetic organic chemistry to develop strategies to upcycle post-consumer PVC, to harvest the carbon atoms locked in this plastic waste by converting them into feedstock chemicals, while valorizing end-of-life PVC to prevent it from being landfilled or contaminating the environment.
