With funding from the National Science Foundation, Goncalves da Silva is building a device to study in the laboratory the fracturing processes under real-world field stress conditions.
Lucia Rodriguez-Freire develops wastewater treatment systems that remove persistent contaminants using ubiquitous, inexpensive materials while optimizing bioremediation strategies for metal-contaminated natural environments.
Somenath Mitra, distinguished professor of chemistry and environmental science, was recently awarded a patent for a water desalination and purification technology that uses carbon nanotubes to remove salt and pollutants such as volatile organic compounds from brackish water and industrial effluent so that it can be reused by businesses and households.
Professor Edward Dreizin is creating novel energetic compounds by milling together distinct metal-based materials into tinier and tinier bits.
