Paschalis Alexandridis

Paschalis Alexandridis is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York (SUNY), where he has served as Director of the Materials Science and Engineering program and Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He received his PhD in chemical engineering from MIT and has carried out postdoctoral research in polymer physical chemistry at Lund University. Alexandridis is an expert on complex fluids and soft matter, whose research bridges molecular organization to mesoscale structure, and translates these into processes and products that are environmentally responsible and energy-efficient. Ongoing projects address self-assembly of block copolymers and PFAS sequestration. In the field of plastics recycling, Alexandridis is leading projects in advanced sorting, chemical recycling, and recycling of multilayer films. Alexandridis has 200 journal publications and 6 US patents (Google Scholar h-index 83 and 25,500 citations). He is a Fellow of AAAS, AIChE, RSC, and IAAM, and held leadership positions within AIChE Area 1C: “Interfacial Phenomena” and the ACS Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry. Alexandridis is currently serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology, and Review Editor for the Journal of Surfactants and Detergents.
