Stwart is a former ExxonMobil process engineer and holds an MBA from MIT Sloan Business School. His skill set includes manufacturing, design, and process operating experience of large-scale units, including plastic pyrolysis operations from his time at ExxonMobil. He has scaled up technologies from the bench scale and also held leadership positions at a previous climate tech startup that went on to raise a $30M Series B round.
Dr. Jan-Georg Rosenboom is a Polymer Scientist from MIT’s Langer Lab, plastic sustainability consultant and TEDx speaker on plastic recycling. He has a PhD from ETH Zurich where he developed polymerization processes based on Ring-Opening Polymerization, where his work on PEF is currently being commercialized by SULZER. His skill set includes polymer chemistry, synthesis and analytics, life cycle assessment, process design, and kinetic simulations. He is an author on 18 scientific papers with >1000 citations, and 2 patents.
Thanaphorn is a polymer scientist with a strong background in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with four years of experience in polymer science research from Clark University and MCPHS University. Her work focused on developing a novel polymer-based non-viral gene delivery vehicle. Her diverse background in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals adds a unique perspective to the MacroCycle team.
Edoardo Terreni is a Chemical Engineer and is an expert in MacroCycle technology through his PhD thesis “Optimization of a New Recycling Technology for Polyesters” at the Politecnico Di Milano in Italy under the supervision of Prof. Storti and Prof. Moscatelli. He also brings industrial experience working as a process engineer at ENI, Italy’s largest petrochemical company.
Andres is a Material Scientist and Reaction Engineer from MIT's Román-Leshkov group. He obtained a PhD from Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana in Mexico City, using that knowledge to then implement technologies for converting wet waste into fuels and chemicals as a Research Scientist at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. During his Post-doc at MIT, he focused on addressing new catalytic strategies for plastic waste chemical upcycling where he designed and built high-temperature and high-pressure flow reactors to achieved optimum experimental design focused on commercial scale-up. Catalysts synthesis, material characterization, analytics, reactor design and process operation of energy intensive units are within his skill set in this field.
