About

Abdul Ahmed is a PhD student in the Department of Chemical Engineering, advised by Dr. Ana Torres. In 2022, Abdul received his bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic InstItute. His research relates to the design and optimization of sustainable circular economy networks. Currently he is assessing the life cycle of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to determine optimal and viable circular networks spanning various pathways for production to varying recycling technologies for post-consumer PET. His work aims to build upon existing methodologies, providing quantitative metrics and a generalized framework that increases the current understanding of how we measure network circularity.
