Electrocoagulation for Water Recycle and Resource Recovery from Farm Wastewater
The goal of this proposed project is to use an electrochemical process to recover ammonia as struvite, a slow-release fertilizer, from real dairy-farm wastewater and recycle the treated water for animal cooling, feeding, cleaning, or irrigation. The produced solid fertilizer (bulk...

Integrated Water-Energy-Economics Framework for Public Water System Resilience
This paper highlights key energy-for-water challenges in U.S. public water systems (PWS): aging infrastructure, cost recovery gaps, hydrologic vulnerabilities, and high-demand users like data centers--which concentrate near population centers and existing PWS. It underscores the n...

Adaptive 3D Printed Micro-Hydropower for Resilient Grids: Digital-to-Deployment Framework
We propose to enhance the resilience of the U.S. electricity grid by enabling the rapid, adaptive, and on-demand manufacturing of site-specific micro-to-small hydropower systems for low-head dams. This approach directly addresses the nation's untapped 85,000+ non-powered dams (NPD...

Unlocking Hydropower Potential from Environmental Flows for Energy-Water Resilience
This white paper examines how mandated environmental flow (E-flow) releases at hydropower dams can be leveraged to generate renewable energy while maintaining ecological integrity. Environmental flows sustain aquatic ecosystems but often bypass turbines, representing lost generati...
