UMass Lowell researchers are focusing on providing access to reliable and safe clean water for all.

Associate Prof. Meg Sobkowicz-Kline of Plastics Engineering is tackling the challenge of turning recyclable waste into high-quality products as the university’s representative to the REMADE (Reducing Embodied Energy And Decreasing Emissions) Institute.

A team of UML researchers have invented a more environmentally friendly, efficient and potentially revenue-generating alternative for converting wastewater sludge into biogas fuel.

Mechanical engineering Associate Prof. Fuqiang Liu thinks he can make solar energy more attractive to homeowners and businesses by simplifying the energy generation/storage process, improving its efficiency and reducing cost.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a group of UMass Lowell student researchers a “P3” grant to develop an innovative technology that would turn seafood waste into fertilizer.

The new bachelor of science in environmental engineering program will prepare students for jobs in which they’ll address some of the world’s most pressing problems, from protecting water and air quality to figuring out how to remediate hazardous waste sites.
