Paradigm Shift on Control of Nanoparticle Fate in the Environment

Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:00:00 -0500

This paradigm shifting research activity is advancing the frontiers of our knowledge of nanoparticles, how they may interact with natural systems, and how to predict those behaviors. Nanomaterials have significant potential benefit to society, and understanding how they behave in deifferent environmental conditions is critical to realizing these benefits while avoiding societal costs. We have achieved this new insight through the work of faculty, NEEP IGERT trainees and affiliates, and thus, our research is integrated seamlessly with our focus on education and development of an interdisciplinary engineering workforce.
