Kang, Seoktae

Prof.

The Sustainable Water Environment and Energy Technology (SWEET) laboratory has focused on the environmental applications of nanotechnology and 3D printing technology to achieve 1). the fabrication, application, and fouling control of membranes for the water production and reuse, 2). the production of biomass-based renewable energy and the electro-chemical conversion of CO2 for the mitigation of climate change.
