Your Faculty
Ryan M. Bouldin holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with an emphasis in Green Chemistry. He believes strongly that his work reflects more than just mixing chemicals to make new materials. While the goal of creating new materials is to incorporate them into new products, he believes those products should be nourishing to the communities that both create and use them. They must be safe and effective for both workers and consumers. This creates demand up supply chains for materials and processes that are ethical, economically viable, and beneficial for people and the planet. At Bentley, he teaches classes to the next generation of business professionals on the Chemistry of Sustainable Products, Industrial Ecology, Circular Economy, and Science of Sustainability.
