Process Innovation and Intensification
This research area advances two categories of research and development critical to advancing NAWI goals: novel and intensified processes and autonomous and adaptable water systems.
Materials and Manufacturing
This research area focuses on developing new high-throughput gradient synthesis and computational simulation and screening tools, advancing manufacturing technology and metrology, and characterizing materials performance in operando.
Data, Modeling, and Analysis
This research area uses analysis and innovative tools to align research across NAWI. It provides an accessible data management system and innovative systems-level analysis and tool development. The data modeling and analysis area also manages an open-source analytical platform to evaluate pipe parity of technologies that are treating non-traditional water sources.
