The realization of the potential
societal benefits
of a new technology
depends on its ability to be sustainably scaled and manufactured.

We are an interdisciplinary team focused on developing core technologies that will help combat the effects of climate change and that can be scalably manufactured.  Much of our research lies in developing fundamental understanding of  interactions at material interfaces and determining how system characteristics are affected by different processing conditions. This allows us to work on  developing industrially-relevant techniques that maximize performance of a product while minimizing environmental impact of the process by which it is made, creating frameworks for sustainable and scalable manufacturing. Key topics of interest include life cycle assessment, adoption of greener feedstock materials, and valorization of waste products.
