Jessica Ray
Jessica Ray is the Robert O. and Irene V. Sylvester Family Endowed Assistant Professor in Water Resources in the College of Civil & Environmental Engineering. My group's research bridges environmental chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science to develop novel treatment technologies to remove or degrade contaminants in the urban water supply. We heavily rely on surface chemistry techniques to characterize the physicochemical properties of our materials to probe their structure-function relationship with respect to targeted contaminants.

David S. Bergsman
Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering The Bergsman group tackles emerging challenges in water, energy, and sustainability using nanomaterials. Through the design of ultrathin nanostructures and coatings, we create membranes that can separate contaminants from water, catalysts that drive difficult chemical reactions, and materials enable the formation of previously unobtainable device architectures. We combine atomically-precise synthesis, advanced characterization approaches, and data science tools to better understand the behavior of molecules in these uniquely small systems and use that understanding to invent processes that can enable the use of clean energy technologies at scale.
