Dr. Peng Jiang and his research group have been working for years trying to perfect a low-tech sensor that can detect hazardous chemicals. A new NSF grant will help finding a solution a reality. Read more about it here: https://bit.ly/3S0neKs

With an eye on color, ChE’s Peng Jiang seeks easier ways to detect harmful chemicals New sensor technology reveals hazardous chemicals with a simple color change.

Dr. Travis Anderson has traveled full circle - from a young wannabe scientist in elementary school, to a UF grad student, to a respected scientist and back to UF as a respected instructor. Enjoy the story and a few photos from his lab. AND one from his days as a UF grad student! https://bit.ly/45pLwR7

With a recent donation, the Birdsalls are making space for future chemical engineers Chris and Julianne Birdsall’s $500,000 gift will create a collaborative makerspace that empowers future generations of UF chemical engineers.

PFAS is a four-letter word when it comes to human health, but Dr. Joshua Moon is working on ways to better remove them from drinking water and wastewater. Read more about it here: https://bit.ly/4eCffMh

New technique filters PFAS forever chemicals using “molecular Velcro” Researchers developed a reusable gel that captures PFAS "forever chemicals" from water more effectively than many existing filters.

Programmable synthetic cells could be instrumental in drug delivery systems. Read more about it and the NSF-funded research coming up from Professors Yeongseon Jang and Carl Denard. https://bit.ly/4vr9Xca

UF researchers receive NSF grant to study programmable synthetic cells UF researchers are developing programmable synthetic cells that mimic how living cells sense and respond to their environment.
