The Creighton Research Laboratory

Established January 2021

Drexel University

The realization of the potential
societal benefits
of a new technology
depends on its ability to be sustainably scaled and manufactured.

We are an interdisciplinary team focused on developing scalable manufacturing schema for technologies to help combat the effects of climate change . Much of our research lies in developing fundamental understanding of interactions at material interfaces and determining how system characteristics are affected by different processing conditions. This allows us to work on developing industrially-relevant techniques that maximize performance of a product while minimizing environmental impact of the process by which it is made, creating frameworks for sustainable and scalable manufacturing. Key topics of interest include life cycle assessment, adoption of greener feedstock materials, and valorization of waste products.
