Paul W. Bohn, Presidential Faculty Fellow and the Arthur J. Schmitt Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, is one of the co-authors of a paper establishing an aggressive research agenda to address problems central to providing clean water in adequate quantities across the world’s diverse populations.

In the paper, which appears in today’s edition of Nature, Bohn and colleagues from the University of Illinois, MIT and Yale examine the problems inherent in current water purification strategies and identify the key scientific and engineering hurdles to purifying water while minimizing adverse environmental impacts.
