Project Highlights

Finding Clues in Atmospheric Layers

Professor Armin Sorooshian and University Distinguished Scholar contributes to research designed to improve understanding of conditions such as air pollution.

"The selection of our project is a testament to the University of Arizona's role as a harmonizer between several institutions focusing on one of the most pressing issues impacting this planet: climate change."
Achilli Leads $4M Sustainable Water Use Consortium

Associate professor Andrea Achilli is the principal investigator on a new project the brings the University of Arizona together with the University of Southern California and the University of Nevada, Reno to improve water security in the southwestern United States.

"If we really want to enable water reuse, we need to transform the systems from centralized – like we've been doing for the past 100 years – into decentralized, autonomous systems."
Water for Rural Communities

Assistant professor Vicky Karanikola is developing water purification systems for groundwater high in salinity and contaminated with metals, to benefit Indigenous Communities.

"We are trying to figure out a way to close the gap between cutting-edge research and possible engineering applications in communities who very often unfortunately experience a delay in innovative information sharing."
Developing an Ultra-Thin Printing Technique

Assistant professor Adam Printz is transforming how high-performance thin films are made – one ultra-thin layer at a time.

"Our goal is to enhance the mechanical and chemical stability of these materials in scalable ways, enabling their use across a wide range of applications, from optoelectronics to wearable tech and computing. The most rewarding part is watching students grow – seeing their excitement for the science and how they truly take ownership of the work."
