Kian Lopez

Kian Lopez, a CU Boulder chemical and biological engineering PhD student, received a 2022 National Water Research Institute (NWRI)/American Membrane Technology Association (AMTA) Graduate Fellowship for Membrane Technology. The $10,000 fellowship supports research that advances membrane technology in the fields of water, wastewater or water reuse. Only two NWRI/AMTA awards are given each year.

Lopez recently completed a master's degree in environmental engineering at CU Boulder, and he is a member of the Straub Research Group, led by Anthony Straub, assistant professor of environmental engineering.

Lopez currently works on testing the effects of fouling on novel hydrophobic membranes to be used in water reuse and desalination applications. He received a BS in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin where he worked on the synthesis and transport properties of ion exchange membranes.
