Interests and Research:
Sustainable energy technologies; materials science and engineering; microfluidic and microelectromechanical systems.
Expanded Research Interests: My interests lie at the interface of
Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering to
drive innovative solutions, especially those focused on developing
sustainable energy and resource production technologies. These include
microreactors for hydrogen and biodiesel production, hydrogen storage
materials and fuel cell issues; advanced batteries and other electrical
energy storage methods; and innovative approaches to aluminum metal
production (electrowinning). I also have interests in the synthesis and
application of advanced materials using bulk and thin film techniques,
such as the preparation of bulk nanostructured and amorphous materials,
and their characterization by diffraction techniques and ancillary
methods. Finally, I will be pursuing the development of microfluidic and
microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), including the development of
micropumps and integrated separation techniques, and their application
to previously unexplored fields.
