The University, in partnership with AlgEternal Technologies and
Georg Fischer Piping Systems, opened one of the largest of its kind
algae growth demonstration facilities for biofuels in the country.
Located at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus in Austin, the facility
will produce algae that will be used by researchers at the
University's Center for Electromechanics to demonstrate their
proprietary technology for extracting oil from algae.

The Air We Breathe Indoors
Could a scented candle be one of the most dangerous things in your
home? Faculty and students in the Cockrell School’s indoor air
quality program think so, and group members are quickly being
recognized as worldwide indoor air quality experts. With Americans
spending more than 20 hours each day indoors, the group’s research
has broad health implications...

Benny Freeman Garners the AIChE Industrial Gases, IBM Faculty, and
ACS Applied Polymer Science Awards
Professor
Benny Freeman received the 2008 Award for Excellence in
Industrial Gases Technology for his work on gas separations using
membranes. Freeman was recognized for a number of contributions to
his field. For example, In contrast to the traditional approach of
using rigid, glassy polymers for gas separation materials, Professor
Freeman's group tuned the molecular structure of polar, rubbery
polymers to remove CO2 from gas mixtures missed by traditional rigid
polymers.
Additionally, Freeman has been selected to receive a 2008 IBM
Faculty Award. IBM Faculty Awards are internationally competitive
awards, awarded to university faculty who have and outstanding
reputation for contributions to their field.
