Chemistry doesn’t stop until you reach the final product. Daniel Johnson talks to Matt Green about life as a chemical engineer

It was only by chance that Matt ventured down the path to becoming a chemical engineer. ‘The work seemed so hands on, people in hard hats on rigs and things like that. The practical aspect of chemistry really grabbed my imagination.’ He changed his application to chemical engineering, and was accepted onto a master’s degree at the University of Bath.
