As the 2025 Young Australian of the Year, Lecturer in Chemical Process Engineering at QUT, and founder of Nguki Kula Green Labs, Katrina Wruck pioneers green chemistry solutions that weave circularity principles from Traditional knowledges with Eurocentric science. Her research focuses on sustainable chemical innovation, reverse engineering nature's chemistry to address pressing environmental challenges such as contamination by "forever chemicals".
