Yoorae Noh, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the School of Packaging (SoP) at Michigan State University (MSU). She joined MSU in August 2023. Prior to joining Michigan State University, Dr. Yoorae Noh was a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Auburn University.  Her research expertise is in the areas of sustainable flexible packaging manufacture, recovery, and environmental surveillance.

Research Interest

Dr. Noh's research is related to sustainable eco-friendly plastic manufacture, recovery, & management. Her research focuses on flexible materials, developing practical solutions to meet the growing global plastics demand without increasing environmental burden. Specifically, her research explores and innovates: (1) how to efficiently decompose and reclaim the currently produced multi-layered polymer materials using green solvents (e.g., supercritical fluids); (2) characterize the composition and behavior of emerging airborne and waterborne plastic wastes, including microplastics, nanoplastics, and organic compounds throughout the stream of plastic manufacture; and (3) develop the process that can selectively detect the air-phased analytes.
