According to the UN, approximately half of people on Earth experience severe water scarcity during some part of the year. In the coming decades, water scarcity and quality challenges are only expected to be exacerbated by climate change. Advanced separation processes are critical to build a sustainable, circular water economy that meets these challenges. In our group, we work to develop fundamental understanding of the relationships between materials synthesis, material properties, and separation performance - and leverage this understanding to design processes for a secure, sustainable water supply, for resource recovery from waste streams, and for removal and remediation of emerging contaminants.
