The Stathatou/ ASSET Lab (Assessing Sustainable Systems and Emerging Technologies) is committed to advancing the design and evaluation of next-generation chemical engineering systems that support energy security and addition, resource resilience, and environmental stewardship. Our work spans multiple sectors, including (1) transportation and alternative energy carriers, (2) sustainably sourced materials and chemicals, and (3) water and wastewater treatment systems targeting contaminants of emerging concern. Through the development of integrated, standardized, and measurement-informed frameworks - including Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Techno-economic Analyses (TEA) - the ASSET Lab performs rigorous, multi-dimensional evaluations of emerging technologies, products, processes, and supply chains. These frameworks leverage field and lab-generated emissions data to produce meaningful, system-level insights that enable safer, more efficient, and robust decision-making.
