Research

Research Interests

Current research focuses on the application of quantum mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, molecular modeling and simulations to the development of water treatment materials, unconventional and low-carbon energy, as well as energy storage systems through interdisciplinary studies. The active research areas include phase behavior and flow of fluids in nanoporous media, enhanced/improved oil recovery, interfacial phenomena, carbon capture, utilization and storage, catalysis, batteries, membranes, wettability, water treatment, etc.

Active Research Areas:

  • Gas/Liquid Phase Behavior and Flow under Nanoconfinement
  • Chemical Additives (Surfactant/Cosurfactant) for EOR and Drilling as well as Fracturing Fluids
  • Wastewater Treatment: (Micro) Pollutant Removal by Adsorption
  • CO2 Storage and Utilization
  • CO2-Responsive "Smart" Materials: Surfactant/Polymer
  • Liquid Electrolyte and Interface Designs for Batteries

Courses
