UTSA Wins $175,000 Grant for Water Treatment Research
The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) will receive $174,054 in funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a project that will research efficient and cost-effective water treatment and remediation technologies. The funding comes from a program called BRIGE (Broadening Participation Research Initiation Grants in Engineering) and the funds will support a project titled “Sorption Behavior and Contaminants to Manufactured Nanomaterials for Potential Use as Remediation and Water Treatment Technologies.” It will involve investigating the mechanisms and the ability of nanomaterials to absorb specific contaminants. Dr. Heather Shipley of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is the grant’s principle investigator.
