Career — Ruth Maust

Education

Doctor of Philosophy, Chemistry

University of Oregon, Eugene, OR

I conducted my PhD work in Prof. Ramesh Jasti’s research group. During my PhD, I designed and constructed new materials on the molecular scale.

Bachelor of Arts, Chemistry

Eastern Mennonite University, Harrisonburg, VA

Earning a chemistry degree from a liberal arts school taught me that science should not be separate from other disciplines!

Workplaces

GreenBlue

Seattle, WA

Sustainable management of material resources means avoiding material excess, considering the health, safety, and environmental impacts of materials we use, and maximizing the value of material resources by keeping them in circulation.

PPG Industries

Springdale, PA

Working in the paints and coatings industry, I gained skills in formulation, product testing, and color matching. Did you know that two colors that look the same indoors may look totally mismatched under sunlight?!

Green Building Alliance

Pittsburgh, PA

Green building was a new field for me. As I learned about the importance and value of healthy, efficient buildings, I got to share what I was learning with others.
