- Designed ultra-filtration technique for graphene dispersions, improving graphene content in dispersion by ~25 wt%.
- Developed new method for extracting solvent-polymer solutions from nanomaterial dispersions and reusing them in liquid-phase exfoliation through cross-flow ultra-filtration and diafiltration.
- Led project investigating ultra-sonication and high-shear mixing of graphite intercalation compounds and expanded graphite, increasing lab-scale graphene yield by ~20%.
- Processed over 20L of graphene dispersions by liquid-phase exfoliation and centrifugation. Formulated printable graphene inks.
