I am currently working on a CO2-capturing project as an R&D scientist. We use a recently discovered MOF (Metal-organic framework) which exclusively adsorbs CO2 from a gas mixture. I am engaged in various roles since we are a small startup company. My roles are:• as a material scientist, to enhance the performance of the material, to develop feasible synthesis for the industrial scale process, and to test the material in various circumstances.• as an engineer, to develop a pilot-scale PVSA (pressure-vacuum swing adsorption) unit to test the adsorbent. I built a system equipped with two 2 L columns using a Raspberry Pi with various sensors and controllers and wrote python scripts to run the system and collect data.• I am also working with other collaborators in various fields to deploy our system to capture CO2 from various point sources.
