This prestigious scholarship recognises and nurtures multidisciplinary young leaders dedicated to driving social impact through technology. Selected as one of 25 promising scholars, Andy was recognised for his outstanding contributions to Sustainability and Green Technology. Andy’s journey in green innovation began in the laboratory. Inspired by circular economy principles and the issue of food waste, he and his teammates conducted experiments to transform fruit peels into vegan leather and developed sustainable fashion products aimed at reducing reliance on animal-based materials.
