The University of Southern California was awarded a $210,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems on August 1, 2021 to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Plasma-Enhanced Electrostatic Precipitation of Diesel Particulates Using High Voltage Nanosecond Pulses."
The grant is part of the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), which aims to foster innovation in engineering research and education. Under this award, the University will conduct research through July 31, 2024 to develop new plasma-based techniques for more effectively capturing fine particulate matter from diesel exhaust using high voltage nanosecond pulses. The research is focused on improving existing electrostatic precipitation methods for reducing harmful diesel emissions through plasma-enhanced technologies. The grant provides $210k in funding to support the University's research efforts over a three year period ending in July 2024.
