Used a CAPE-OPEN interface to run Matlab within the Aspen Plus process modeling environment to conduct a techno-economic analysis of membrane-based xylene separations. This analysis demonstrated that current membrane technologies compare favorably against current commercial processes from both a cost and energy standpoint.Utilized a Maxwell-Stefan multicomponent transport model programmed in Matlab to conduct a matching analysis of filler and polymer properties, demonstrating the importance of proper filler selection.Deployed commercial hollow fiber fabrication technologies to create mixed matrix membranes, resulting in surface area to volume ratios exceeding commercial spiral wound modules.Demonstrated a 10% separation factor improvement by integrating the metal-organic framework UiO-66 within a Matrimid® membrane.Experienced in membrane and materials characterization, including: Gas permeation, crossflow solvent systems, XRD, SEM, gas physisorption, TGA
