Southeast Professor Receives Fulbright Award

Dr. Mohammed Ali, professor of organic chemistry at Southeast, has been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Scholar grant to teach green chemistry and help incorporate green chemistry into the undergraduate curriculum at the International University of Business, Agriculture, and Technology in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

“Green chemistry is very important because it’s developing new procedures that are safe for the environment and safer for anyone that uses them,” says Ali.

The Fulbright Program, America’s flagship international educational exchange program, is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, and Ali is one of 1,200 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad during the 2016-2017 academic year through the program.
