Welcome to the Membrane Biotechnology Laboratory at USF
Uncovering the Latest Findings
The Membrane Biotechnology Laboratory at the University of South Florida conducts research and development on physical, chemical, and biological processes to treat anthropogenic waste streams. Our expertise is membrane separation for biological process intensification.
Research Themes
Bioregenerative Technologies for Space Applications
Through collaboration with NASA engineers and scientists, we have developed the Organic Processor Assembly (OPA). The OPA is a waste processing system for aerospace applications and was specifically designed for carbon and nutrient cycling in deep space missions.
Infrastructure and Technology Resiliency
We have developed frameworks for exploring and assessing the resiliency and robustness of city-wide infrastructure and decentralized technologies. These design tools allow practitioners to make targeted changes to make their systems more resilient in an uncertain world.
