The National Water Research Institute (NWRI) and the American Membrane Technology Association (AMTA) have announced the 2021 recipients of the NWRI/AMTA Graduate Fellowships for Membrane Technology.
The two recipients undertaking cutting-edge and innovative research will receive a $10,000 fellowship to support their research that advances membrane technology in the fields of water, wastewater, or water reuse.
The 2021 recipients of AMTA/NWRI Graduate Fellowships for Membrane Technology are:
Weiliang Bai
Bei is a Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin. He received a fellowship for research titled, “Setting up a comprehensive Omics platform for detecting biofouling in reverse osmosis (RO) seawater desalination plants.” Bai is working under the guidance of advisor Dr. Manish Kumar.
Jose Diaz, University of Michigan
Díaz, a PhD student at the University of Michigan, received a fellowship for research titled, “Ion sorption and transport in novel highly charged and tunable ion exchange membranes contacted with non-ideal electrolyte solutions.” Díaz is working under the guidance of advisor Dr. Jovan Kamcev.
AMTA and NWRI are partnering to support graduate student fellowships that advance AMTA’s mission to promote and advance the understanding and application of membrane technology to create safe, affordable, and reliable water treatment solutions. Since 2007, the NWRI-AMTA partnership has supported 18 students from across the country with $300,000 in fellowship awards for membrane research.
