Recent collaboration between students and faculty at Clemson University and a researcher at a National Lab has revealed the impact of electric and hybrid vehicles on the environment.  “Vehicles that run solely on batteries are often regarded as the gold standard in clean-energy transportation, but the answer to the Shakspearean question is far from simple, […]

Another great representation of EEES on September 17, 2024, when Dr. Kevin Finneran presented on “Can We Use Microbes For This: Bioremediation For The Next Generation of Contaminants” at a webinar hosted by Microbial Insights.  This webinar presented some thoughts on what emerging contaminants may be treatable using microbial activity, and when and how to optimize […]

The Nuclear Environmental Engineering and Science group at Clemson University is addressing a major need in the nuclear-environmental workforce. In collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Vanderbilt University, and CRESP (Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation), Clemson co-sponsored a workshop to develop strategies for growing educational programs that will meet the demand for […]

As the planet continues to heat up and sea levels rise, thousands of miles of coastline are at greater and greater risk for flooding.  Professor Larry Murdoch and a team from FRx Inc., are exploring a novel way to address this growing problem.  Murdoch’s collaborators in EEES include Adjunct Professor Leonid N. Germanovich, Associate Professor […]

Three Clemson faculty members are part of a 16-university team of 31 scientists and engineers selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to develop the next generation of new technologies and insights in nuclear forensics.  The Consortium for Nuclear Forensics will be led by the University of Florida, with […]

A team of researchers led by EEES Professor Larry Murdoch was recently awarded $4M by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for a project entitled A Strain Sensing Array to Characterize Deformation at the FORGE Site.  The goal of the project is to evaluate the use of strain data […]

A team of researchers led by EEES Associate Professor David Ladner has been awarded a $1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a project entitled Climate-Resilient Sustainable Food Production: Controlled Environment Hydroponic Agriculture with Novel Wastewater Treatment & Reuse.  This grant is the first ever received by Clemson faculty from NSF’s Partnerships for […]

Dr. Sudeep Popat recently received $750,000 from NASA to fund his research project focused on developing a way of making hydrogen peroxide for use on long-term space missions. Read the full newsstand article here. Dr. Popat’s research was also featured on several news stations. News clips from some of the stations can be found below: […]

You cannot taste or smell them in your tap water, but most municipalities in the United States now have drinking water supplies that are contaminated with trace levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).  These chemicals were widely used in the production of products such as Teflon because of their remarkable properties.  Disposal of these […]
