My thesis in the Smith Lab focuses on developing novel nanocomposites for energy-efficient gas separations. General aims include, but are not limited to:• Developed a facile nanostructured network ZIF-8 synthesis, compared properties with its bulk counterpart, and characterized thermodynamic gas transport behaviors of its MMMs • Controlled d-spacing of graphene oxide (GO) film with amine-based spacer• Oversaw the lab safety including training new colleagues, delivering safety minutes, etc. as an Energy, Health & Safety (EHS) Representative.
