Porous Materials for Gas Separations

This project is ongoing.

We will design new porous polymeric materials for the separation and storage of gases at ambient conditions. 

Example applications include the removal of O2 from ambient air, the separation of alkenes from alkanes in the presence of sulfurous impurities, and the isolation of CO2 from concentrated and dilute streams, including those of cement manufacturing and untreated air (direct air capture), respectively.

 

 

Qualifications

Prospective applicants should be on track to receive a degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Petroleum Engineering, with long-term aspirations to pursue a Ph.D. in graduate school.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
