Purdue Professor, whose lab focuses on thermodynamics and nanoengineering for water and membrane technologies. https://t.co/j1y85ZETH8
West Lafayette, IN
Joined August 2011
For advanced oxidation of photocatalytic nanoparticles, we showed that material composites (e.g. Au/TiO2) improve performance more by reducing electron-hole recombination, rather than surface plasmon resonance or particle self-electrophoresis. https://t.co/bJrum6V9Cq

Our team developed the first membrane #distillation #desalination system that uses slippery liquid infused surfaces (#SLIPS)! We saw modest improvements in #heat_transfer coefficients, and large efficiency gains from decreased droplet departure diameter. https://t.co/3I1fK8Z2Gs

Last fall, the US #DOE wrote an article about the 1st place winners for #outreach at the #Marine_Energy and Hydropower Collegiate Competitions, the former being our Purdue team with K-12 water wheel competitions, education kits, and more! https://t.co/j9r1W967NZ

We developed a liquid-like polymer lubricant layer on a #bioinspired bumpy surface, fabricated with SLM 3D printing. Droplets grow faster at bump apexes and shed rapidly via ultralow #CAH (<3°), greatly enhancing #Atmospheric #Water #Harvesting! https://t.co/UlldkQkOun

We published a pair of modeling papers on electrocatalytic self-pumping membranes. Flow in such pores is heavily influenced by pore radius and pH, and less so by porosity, pore length, tortuosity, and pore defects. https://t.co/leyfmDQzSe

Our team’s #SWRO study in @Joule_CP shows that using the most #efficient #tech (Batch #reverse_osmosis, better #pumps, spacers, #membranes, etc) can reduce total #energy by 57%, eliminating 82% of the excess energy above the #thermodynamic minimum. https://t.co/uTtFepuepj

We demonstrated an “Electroless” #membrane #coating process that uses #catalysis of silver ions (rather than electrodeposition) to coat Copper #nanoparticles. The antimicrobial coatings were exceptionally uniform and robust on electrospun PAN membranes. https://t.co/g2q82F0FSF
