Prof. Ariel Furst has been named to Chemical & Engineering News’ 2025 Talented 12, which spotlights early-career scientists who are using their “chemistry know-how to make a real-world impact.” “By combining the power of biology with chemistry and materials engineering, Furst develops technologies to tackle crucial problems such as environmental remediation, sustainable agriculture, and carbon sequestration,” writes Prachi Patel. “Pretty much everything that agrochemicals do, there are microbes that we think do it better,” says Furst. “They do it more precisely and maintain the overall balance of the ecosystem much more effectively.”
