Using biowaste to create clean water

Mizzou Engineer Caixia “Ellen” Wan is filtering clean water using new materials created from lignocellulosic biomass waste.

The multidisciplinary team consists of faculty from Mechanical Engineering (Matt Maschmann), Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (Matthias Young, Sheila Grant and David Grant) and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Jianlin Cheng [not pictured], James Keller, Filiz Bunyak and Prasad Calyam).

Accelerating materials discovery

Mizzou Engineers are partnering with Arizona State University, Brewer Science and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), to increase the efficiency of materials development by using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to model and test new materials. Mizzou's research is supported by a $1.87 million grant, sponsored by Arizona State University.
