My research interests are in the fabrication and manipulation of microporous membranes and adsorbents for advanced gas separations, e.g., helium recovery from natural gas, noble gas purification, natural gas upgrading, hydrogen purification and recovery, CO2 capture, olefin/paraffin separation, as well as air separation. My research focuses on the fabrication and structure-property relationship of novel microporous polymer membranes, hollow fiber membranes and modules, carbon molecular sieve membranes and adsorbents, molecular recognition, and system integration and process design.
