DC-MUSE CENTER DIRECTOR ANDRÉ TAYLOR'
100TH PUBLICATION
JAN 19, 2024
Congratulations to André D. Taylor, DC-MUSE Center Director, on his 100th publication! The NYU Tandon research team, led by Dr. Taylor, achieved a groundbreaking advancement in Redox Flow Desalination, increasing salt removal rates by 20% with reduced energy demands. This eco-friendly solution not only addresses the water crisis but also integrates seamlessly with renewable energy, fostering a carbon-neutral future. Kudos to the team, especially Stephen Akwei Maclean, the paper’s first author and a NYU Tandon Ph.D. candidate in chemical and biomolecular engineering!
