CBE - Manufacturing Next-Generation Membranes from Advanced Materials
This project focuses on the fabrication, structural characterization, and transport testing of next-generation membranes manufactured from self-assembled materials.
The WATER lab is an interdisciplinary research team that addresses important questions regarding membrane-based separations at the water-energy nexus. The team interrogates the fundamental connections between the structure, functionality, and transport properties of polymer membranes in order to guide the molecular design and manufacture of next-generation membranes from advanced materials. These material advantages, which provide more precise control over mass transfer, are then leveraged to design systems that are critical to the purification of drinking water and the generation of sustainable energy resources.
