PROGRAM DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATIONIIP 0855798New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)SirkarNew Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is planning to join the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) entitled "Membrane Applied Science and Technology" (MAST) which currently is a single university center. University of Colorado is currently the lead institute. Membranes offer the potential to dramatically decrease costs and energy consumption associated with gas and liquid separations in the petroleum, chemical, biochemical, food and water treatment industries. A site at NJIT would bring new areas of expertise to the Center and significant complementary expertise in other areas in which the Colorado site has ongoing research. The MAST center has core capabilities in membrane formation, characterization and performance. The NJIT research site will strengthen these core areas as well as facilitate new research interactions and opportunities in membrane materials and areas of applications of current industrial interest. The proposed site will lead to the education and training of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows for the membrane and related industries. The PI at the proposed site would also seek to incorporate the introduction to membranes and membrane separations as well as hands-on experimental membrane research activities in the Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievements Program offered by NJIT to recruit underrepresented groups to science and engineering. Similar activities will be undertaken with high school students during the summer with the ACS Seed Program. Overall, the research and education activities of a NJIT MAST Center site will have a significant impact on the separation needs of a broad range of critical industries.

项目总监推荐IIP 0855798新泽西理工学院 (NJIT)Sirkar 新泽西理工学院 (NJIT) 计划加入名为“膜应用科学与技术”(MAST) 的工业/大学合作研究中心 (I/UCRC)，该中心目前是单一大学中心。 科罗拉多大学是目前的牵头机构。 膜有可能大幅降低石油、化工、生物化学、食品和水处理行业中气体和液体分离相关的成本和能源消耗。 新泽西理工学院的一个站点将为该中心带来新的专业知识领域，并为科罗拉多站点正在进行研究的其他领域带来重要的补充专业知识。 MAST 中心在膜形成、表征和性能方面拥有核心能力。 NJIT 研究中心将加强这些核心领域，并促进膜材料和当前工业兴趣应用领域的新研究互动和机会。 拟建基地将为膜及相关行业的研究生和博士后研究员提供教育和培训。 拟议站点的 PI 还将寻求将膜和膜分离的介绍以及动手实验膜研究活动纳入 NJIT 提供的 Ronald E. McNair 学士后成就计划，以招募代表性不足的群体进入科学和工程领域。 类似的活动将在夏季通过 ACS 种子计划与高中生一起开展。 总体而言，NJIT MAST 中心的研究和教育活动将对广泛关键行业的分离需求产生重大影响。
