Princeton Engineering researchers are combining their expertise in chemical engineering, materials and computation to design crystalline materials that can be used to mitigate pollution or make sustainable cements. In bioengineering, another project aims to unravel how dormant bacteria resist antibiotics and incite intractable infections.
These are among 21 projects funded by the latest round of innovation grants from the School of Engineering and Applied Science, which total more than $3 million. Since 2008, innovation awards have enabled engineering faculty members to take their research in bold new directions that address critical issues in technology, health and the environment. The grants often fuel initial discoveries that lead to larger awards from external funding agencies.
