Research Interests:
The mission of the Water & Energy Efficiency for the Environment Lab (WE3Lab) is to reduce the cost and carbon intensity of water desalination and reuse. Ongoing research efforts include:
1) developing automated, precise, robust, intensified, modular, and electrified (A-PRIME) water desalination technologies to support a circular water economy;
2) optimizing the coordinated operation of decarbonized water and energy systems; and
3) supporting the design and enforcement of water-energy-food policies (e.g., Effluent Limitation Guidelines, the Clean Power Plan, CA Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, etc.).
