The...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports collaborative research aimed at discovering enzymatic pathways to break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of persistent chemicals that are costly to remove from the environment. The $350,000 project, awarded on November 1, 2025 with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2028, will take a new approach toward remediating PFAS...
- This $199,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to elucidate the performance and mechanisms of nanofiltration (NF) for removing short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated water. The research aims to evaluate NF removal of diverse (ultra)short-chain PFAS, establish structure-property-performance relationships using machine learning, and investigate PFAS interactions with NF...
- This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research into using non-equilibrium plasma to fully degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in complex aqueous systems. The project, titled "ECLIPSE-PFAS: Electrical Discharge Plasma-Driven Multidisciplinary Approach for Complete Mineralization of PFAS & PFAS Precursors in Complex Aqueous Systems", is being conducted by the Research Foundation for the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $150,000 to Claremont McKenna College to develop enzymatic pathways that can break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of harmful chemicals that are costly and difficult to remove from the environment due to their stable carbon-fluorine bonds. The project aims to engineer specialized enzymes that can degrade these bonds, which could unlock...
