Dr. Alissa Park is the Lenfest Earth Institute Professor of Climate Change at Columbia and an expert in carbon mineral sequestration. Her research in carbon capture, utilization and sequestration became the foundation of her startup Greenore, which converts iron and steel making by-product, slag, into valuable chemical products (calcium carbonate, iron oxide, silica and alumina) while consuming CO₂ as a reactant. She shares how her student’s interest in entrepreneurship began their path to Greenore; what motivates engineers and scientists; and how science is both her work and her hobby.
