- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $575,000 project grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study the use of light in organic synthesis. Under this 3-year award effective July 1, 2024, Professor Tehshik Yoon and his team will design novel photocatalysts that can interact directly with small molecules to control how they react and form more complex products. The research aims to transform discovery in pharmaceutical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $310,868 Project Grant under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to conduct collaborative research on the photodegradation of synthetic organic pollutants in aquatic systems. The goal of this 3-year project is to advance the fundamental understanding of how sunlight-induced photochemical degradation processes impact the fate of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals in lakes and rivers. To achieve this, the researchers will evaluate direct and indirect photolysis of approximately 50 organic compounds under laboratory and outdoor conditions. This data will be used to develop predictive models relating laboratory-measured photolysis rates to environmental conditions. The project will also provide educational and training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, including those from underrepresented groups, and disseminate the research findings to water resource managers and the public.
