CHE embraces 3MT

When Chemical Engineering hosted its departmental heat of the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition on February 8th, the room was packed with audience members keen to learn more about our research-based masters and doctoral students’ exciting investigations. Eleven graduate students took turns presenting the high points of the research they have spent years conducting – using one static PowerPoint slide, language that could be understood by the general public…and within only three minutes.

Seminar - “Molecularly Engineering Membrane Materials for Separations Through Enhanced Interactions: A Road Less Traveled”, by Dr. Haiqing Lin, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of Buffalo, Buffalo, NY

ABSTRACT:  Membrane technology has emerged as an important separation process for H2 purification, CO2 capture, and water purification.  Conventional membrane material designs are often focused on rigid polymers with strong size sieving ability to enhance diffusivity selectivity.  In contrast, our research focuses on the exploration of specific interactions between the penetrant and membrane materials to achieve high solubility selectivity and thus high separation performance.
