SUMMARY:ChBE Seminar: Engineering 2-D Membranes with Selective Pores
UID:469462@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kumar Agrawal from Rice MIT will present a seminar on Engineering 2-D Membranes with Selective Pores. Abstract: Two-dimensional (2-D) porous materials are highly desirable building blocks for fabrication of membranes. The short transport path in the 2-d membranes has been shown to yield orders of magnitude higher throughput than the current state-of-the-art membranes\, and therefore\, the 2-d membranes will be highly energy-efficient. This is especially relevant because separations account for 40% of the total energy consumption in the chemical industry. However\, the realization of these 2-d membranes with size-selective pores faces synthesis and engineering challenges\, due to which\, high-throughput\, size-selective\, and stable 2-d membranes have been elusive.Biography:Dr. Kumar Agrawal is a postdoctoral associate in the department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In his postdoctoral research at MIT\, Dr. Agrawal is learning new techniques to synthesize and functionalize 2-d films of graphene and MoS2\, which he plans to use for catalysis. Dr. Agrawal received his doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Minnesota\, while serving as a teaching assistant for undergraduate and graduate level courses. His research interests include pushing the frontiers of 2-d membranes\, while simultaneously developing material platforms that will be beneficial to the multidisciplinary field of science and engineering.Date & Time: Thursday\, January 15th\, 9:00 am -10:00 amLocation: Abbott Auditorium\, Pancoe Pavillion*Refreshments will be available at 8:45 am
