Kyle Doudrick

Research

Prof. Doudrick's research involves renewable energy and the environment. More specifically, the Doudrick group focus on the development of sustainable water treatment technologies. This involves engineering solar-activated catalyst materials (i.e., photocatalysts) and systems for treating polluted drinking water sources. Additionally, the group is interested in using photocatalysts to convert wastewaters (e.g., municipal, industrial) to clean energy sources such as hydrogen.
