""We manipulate matter," says Gadikota, who is also director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy at Columbia. Some examples involve her work turning CO2 into useful solids and extracting silica and rare earth elements in ways that could support energy, climate and environmental security."
""The beauty and the creativity of what we do involves translating some of these pathways that we develop for a wide range of applications.""
Many discarded materials contain essential elements for clean energy and technology. Greeshma Gadikota, a chemical engineer, focuses on recovering these materials from industrial byproducts. Her research includes refining silica and rare earth elements from waste, which can be utilized in solar energy and other critical technologies. Gadikota emphasizes the innovative processes developed to transform waste into valuable resources, contributing to energy, climate, and environmental security.
