Welcome back, Jaylene!

Congratulations for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF)!

Research: 

I will be working with Dr. Ding to develop a Super Tough Hydrogel (STH) for membrane usage and separation processes. STHs are incredibly different than your typical hydrogels; being much stronger and having an ability to withstand large amounts of pressure driven forces ultimately allowing us to utilize the hydrogel as a membrane for desalination and bio-filtration purposes.
