(384q) Ion Transport and System Design in Membrane-Based CO? Electrolysis and Carbon Capture Processes

Author

Research Interests
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University with expertise in polymer chemistry, ion exchange membranes (IEMs), bipolar membranes (BPMs), and electrochemical system design for carbon management. My current work focuses on analyzing ion transport, fluid flow, and interfacial phenomena in IEMs and BPMs for advanced processes such as CO2 electrolysis, water electrolysis, and electrochemical carbon capture

I have extensive experience developing and testing membranes for separation processes that rely on precise control of transport phenomena, including desalination, brine concentration, and selective ion removal. My research combines experimental transport measurements with system-level modeling and optimization to design membrane–electrolyzer systems for CO2 conversion to syngas and sustainable energy applications

By integrating polymer synthesis, membrane fabrication, synchrotron-based characterization, and fluid transport analysis, I aim to advance scalable, energy-efficient electrochemical systems that contribute to decarbonization and circular resource recovery. My goal is to support industry R&D in developing innovative membrane and process solutions for next-generation sustainable energy and separation technologies.
