Developing Next Generation Membranes for Process Intensification

The main focus of the STEM Lab is to develop next-generation membranes to improve the process performance and sustainability. The primary application fields include water treatment & seawater desalination, solvent separation, artificial organs, fuel cells & electrolysis, and greenhouse gas capture & storage. We apply fundamental principles of chemical engineering to design innovative membranes in nano-precision. The research requires interdisciplinary knowledge ranging from polymer chemistry, nanotechnology, and process engineering to biomedical and materials science.
