Developing advanced purification and carbon capture technologies to combat climate change and enhance water and air quality.

Background and Experience

T. Alan Hatton is the Ralph Landau Professor and the Director of the David H. Koch School of Chemical Engineering Practice at MIT. His work focuses on the development of purification technologies of various kinds for use with air, water, and other substances. As part of the MIT Energy Initiative, he co-directs the Center for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage. 

The Hatton Research Group at MIT focuses primarily on the development of electrochemical processes to facilitate chemical separations and to mediate the transformation of captured waste to useful commodity chemicals.
