A project led by the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering recently received a $3.1 million grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to develop an innovative method of getting rid of dangerous hydrofluorocarbon pollution from the air.

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate researcher Shucheng Guo and assistant professor Xi Chen's research could lay the groundwork for the electronics industry to develop devices that overheat less, process information faster, and are more energy-efficient than today’s technology.
