In February I posted a 3D drawing of a “pillar helix” that was used in a grant proposal submission. Recently we learned that the grant was funded.
The grant is called “An integrated multiscale modeling and experimental approach to design fouling-resistant membranes.” It is a collaborative proposal submitted to the National Science Foundation’s Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (DMREF) program. The principal investigator (PI) is Sapna Sarupria. Scott Husson and I are Co-PIs along with Ilenia Battiato at San Diego State University. The award amount is $970,000 over four years.
This week Clemson’s College of Engineering Technical and Features Writer, Paul Alongi, held a press release for the project. The story ran on WYFF television Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Here is a list of online media coverage:
