Dr Andrew Hunt was part of the first cohort of students on the course in 2001, and went on to complete his PhD in the group on the extraction of high-value chemicals from British upland plants. As well as being heavily involved in teaching the MSc, he is also the Scientific Leader of the Alternative Solvents Technology Platform at the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence (GCCE) at York. ... 

The Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence works at the cutting edge of chemical research in the areas of clean synthesis, catalysis, novel materials and applications for renewable resources. 

Andri Constandinou is a 2nd year PhD student in the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence (GCCE) at the University of York. She is also involved in the CHEM21 project and her research focusses on assessing the green credentials of current and improved synthetic routes to target APIs. 

Andrew J. Hunt gained a PhD in Chemistry from University of York (2006) focussed on the extraction of high value chemicals from British upland plants . Dr Hunt now leads the Natural Solvents section of the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence at the University of York. The use of bio-derived solvents and supercritical fluids in extractions, reactions and chromatography is a key aspect of his work. Research highlights include innovative work on the use of supercritical carbon dioxide for the extraction and recovery of liquid crystals from defunct display devices. This collaborative project led to a Rushlight award for innovation in recycling. Other related work on the recovery and...
