Dr. Bryan Boudouris, the Robert and Sally Weist Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, is part of a multi-institution research team, which has closed a $1.1M seed round for funding. Anfiro, a water treatment developer based on Purdue University and University of Notre Dame research, closed the round that included Purdue Research Foundation’s Office of Technology Commercialization. Researchers at Anfiro are developing polymer-based water treatment membranes to improve energy and cost efficiency for seawater desalination.
