 form with the potential to help deliver sustainable supplies offood\, wate
 r\, medicine\, and energy to the growing global population. Realizingthis 
 potential requires overcoming barriers spanning the molecular to systemssc
 ales. To address this challenge\, we have developed an automated diafiltra
 tiondevice that dramatically reduces the time and resources needed to char
 acterizemembrane transport properties. This platform enables rapid\, high-
 throughputtesting over a wide range of feed compositions. When paired with
  the tools ofdata science\, it accelerates both materials discovery and pr
 ocess optimization.The integration of automation and analytics provides re
 al-time insights intoseparation mechanisms\, reducing hands-on experimenta
 l time from 50 hours tojust 40 minutes\, while distinguishing between adso
 rption and rejection-basedseparations. By rapidly characterizing polymerm
 embranes\, the system addresses critical knowledge gaps related to theinte
 rfacial processes that govern solute–solute selectivity and performance 
 incomplex\, multicomponent feed streams. We demonstrate these capabilities
  withself-assembled copolymer membranes whose pore wall chemistry can be t
 ailoredpost-synthetically to enable selective separations through electros
 taticinteractions and molecular recognition. Diafiltration efficiently elu
 cidateshow subtle variations in membrane chemistry translate into measurab
 le changesin transport properties. By advancing both membrane materials an
 dcharacterization tools\, this work provides a pathway toward more efficie
 ntseparation processes at the water-energy nexus.      Bio:William A.
  Phillipreceived his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of N
 otre Dame in2004\; and completed his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering under t
 he guidance of Dr.Ed Cussler at the University of Minnesota in 2009. Follo
 wing his Ph.D.\, Dr. Phillipcompleted a postdoctoral appointment with Dr. 
 Menachem Elimelech at YaleUniversity. He is currently the Rooney Family C
 ollegiate Professor ofEngineering in the Department of Chemical and Biomol
 ecular Engineering at theUniversity of Notre Dame\, where he heads the Wat
 er purification and AdvancedTransport Engineering Research (WATER) laborat
 ory. Dr. Phillip is an AssociateEditor for Cambridge Materials: Water and 
 an a member of the EditorialAdvisory Board for ACS Macro Letters.  The W
 ATER lab examines how the structureand chemistry of polymeric membranes af
 fect the transport of solutes andsolvents across them. By understanding th
 e connection between functionality andproperty\, Professor Phillip and his
  group are able to design and fabricatenext-generation membranes that prov
 ide more precise control over the transportof chemical species. These mate
 rial advantages are then leveraged to designsystems capable of enhancing c
 hemical separations at the water-energy nexus.The WATER lab has been recog
 nized with the 3M Non-Tenured Faculty Award\, theArmy Research Office Youn
 g Investigator Program\, the North American MembraneSociety Young Membrane
  Scientist Award\, the Rev. Edmund P. Joyce\, C.S.C.\, Awardfor Excellence
  in Undergraduate Teaching\, the Duncan and Suzanne MellichampLectureship 
 at Purdue University\, and the FRI/John G. Kunesh Award.
