Dr. Escobar’s research focuses on developing and/or improving polymeric membrane materials for water treatment and water reuse operations. In the field of membrane separations, she has been the PI of numerous nationally competitive research projects. Among her current projects is work on (1) multifunctional nanocomposite membranes, including using 2D materials functionalized on membranes to remove and destroy per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS); (2) anti-microbial membranes; (3) biofouling mechanisms; (4) nanoparticle fouling mechanisms; (5) bio-derived membranes; (6) green membrane fabrication and scale up; and (6) photocatalytic membranes.
