Dr. Zachary M. Hudson is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Chemistry at the University of British Columbia. Zac completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in chemistry at Queen’s University, developing luminescent materials for organic electronics. During his Ph.D. he also held graduate fellowships at Jilin University (China ...

Prof Hudson received both his B.Sc. (Chemistry) and Ph.D. (Inorganic Chemistry) at Queen’s University. He had, in fact, started his undergrad in Biochemistry. When he found that he liked the chemistry component best, he made the switch. His undergrad years were adventurous—he got to work in research lab positions, which inspired him to pursue acade...
Prof Hudson has taught first-year and fourth-year lectures, and likes to fit the courses he teaches into 1 term (3 months). This way, he can use the remainder of the year to pursue what he calls his “research enterprise,” e.g. applying for grants, focussing on publications, and providing mentorship. Currently, he’s the Canada Research Chair in Sust...
“Your primary job in your first year is just to survey the landscape, keep your head above water, make some friends, and just do your best. Figure out what you like, stay on top of your mental health and social well-being.” You can catch Prof Hudson writing out lecture notes on the blackboard, hard at work in his lab, or on a hike with his golden r...

The Hudson group is focused on developing new bio-based polymers for use in compostable plastics. Tens of billions of pieces of single-use plastics end up in rivers, oceans and landfills every year, most of which take thousands of years to naturally break down. Food and beverage packaging is the single largest source of single-use plastic waste, with only a small fraction of that ever being ...
Liked by Zac Hudson. I am an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Chemistry at UBC. I lead a research program in polymer chemistry, with applications in energy-efficient displays, polymer particles for bioimaging, and compostable plastics for consumer products. · Experience: American Chemical Society · Location ...
