Veena Sahajwalla is an inventor and Scientia Professor of Materials Science in the Faculty of Science at UNSW Australia. She is the Director of the UNSW SM@RT Centre for (Sustainable Materials Research and Technology ) and an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow. Sahajwalla is known for her role as a councillor on the independent Australian Climate Council and as a judge on the ABC television show ''The New Inventors''. Sahajwalla also served as a commissioner on the now defunct Australian Climate Commission. ==Achievements== Sahajwalla is known internationally as the Inventor of 'Green Steel'. Sahajwalla's research is recognised for changing the way the properties of carbon-bearing materials are understood, including coals, cokes, graphites, plastics and rubber. Sahajwalla's work has had significant impact on the theory and practices that form the basis of operations of the Iron-making, Steel-making and Ceramics industries. Of particular importance is her demonstration that waste plastics and waste rubber can be partial replacements for coal and coke in steel-making. Sahajwalla's unique focus on the evolution of carbon properties in high-temperature conditions has not only advanced scientific understanding of materials processing, but has provided cost-effective opportunities for industries to move towards sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Veena Sahajwalla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
