The overarching goal of this project is to attain a fundamental, predictive understanding of key chemical processes in aqueous solutions, at mineral-water interfaces, and within geologic media that affect mineral nucleation, growth, and dissolution and drive changes in porosity, permeability and water quality.
This multidisciplinary research program closely integrates experiments and computations toward the overarching goal of understanding the structural, energetic, and mechanistic factors leading to selective, energy-efficient, and sustainable anion separations with reactive, self-organizing receptors and frameworks.
The overall goal of this project is to investigate fundamental issues of gas separations by nanostructured architectures and unconventional media that selectively bind and/or transport target molecular species via tailored interactions.
The overarching goal of this research project is to understand how to control selectivity through tuning cooperativity in multi-functional catalysts.
