Spring at WashU

Excited to share one more piece of news from our group at WashU EECE. A review article on the topic of the economic viability of polymer-membrane-based CO2 electrolysis technologies just got published in Nature Review Clean Technology. Here is the link to access the full text: rdcu.be/efnYA

Connecting scales in reaction engineering- a viewpoint article just got published in Nature Chemical Engineering. Https://rdcu.be/eeSAT

Truly honored to be highlighted in a recent article in ACS Energy Letters - pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10....

Happy Holidays

Are you interested in graduate school in Chemical & Environmental Engineering? It is not too late to apply for our EECE program at Washington University in St. Louis. My group is recruiting 2 graduate students in the fall of 2025.

Happy Thanksgiving
