Murray Moo Young

Murray Moo-Young is a distinguished professor emeritus in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Waterloo. He received BSc and PhD degrees from University of London, an MASc from University of Toronto, and postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Edinburgh. His prestigious credentials include the premier awards of the American Chemical Society, Biochemical Technology Division; and the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering. In addition, he is an elected fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (FAIME), one of the highest honors for a bioengineer and the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC), the highest accolade for a Canadian scholar. So far, his work has produced 14 books, 10 patents, and over 365 journal papers. He is the founding editor of the high-impact journal Biotechnology Advances, editor-in-chief of the six-volume major reference work Comprehensive Biotechnology (Elsevier), and founding president of the International Society for Environmental Biotechnology. Murray is a consultant to industry, government, and academia worldwide. His research is directed at biochemical engineering, industrial biotechnology and environmental management.

Murray is a member of the Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology and the Waterloo Centre for Microbial Research.
