Moores, Audrey

Audrey Moores is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at McGill University. She holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Ecole Polytechnique and has been affiliated with McGill since her post-doctoral fellowship at Yale University. Her research focuses on green and sustainable chemistry, materials chemistry, and synthesis/catalysis, with an emphasis on nanoparticle and biopolymer synthesis using mechanochemical and solid-state methods. Moores is an associate member of the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering at McGill and serves as Executive Editor for ACS Sustainable Chem. Eng. She has received several awards, including the Canada Research Chair in Green Chemistry and the Canadian Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Award for Green Chemistry.

Audrey Moores is a researcher at McGill University specializing in Green Chemistry, catalysis, and the development of sustainable nanomaterials. Her work focuses on the synthesis and application of nanoparticles, particularly in catalytic processes, and explores the use of biomass-derived materials such as nanocellulose and chitosan. Moores investigates mechanochemistry as a green alternative for nanoparticle synthesis and catalytic reactions, emphasizing the design of environmentally friendly chemical processes. Her research also includes the use of magnetic nanoparticles for catalytic transformations and the degradation of persistent pollutants. Her publications highlight the potential of plasmonic nanoparticles and nanocellulose-based materials in enhancing catalytic efficiency and sustainability.
