RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Aug 2011 – Present
Research Assistant (Advisors: Prof. Xianghong Qian, Prof. Ranil Wickramasinghe)
 Developed magnetically responsive micro-mixing self-cleaning nanofiltration membranes that are effective in the anti-fouling of nanofiltration processes by breaking concentration polarization layer, therefore extended the membrane’s operation cycle by at least 200% and improved 2000ppm MgSO4 retention by 60%~150%.
 Carried out theoretical studies to nanofiltration processes, together with the fouling and concentration polarization of nanofiltration membranes using mathematical models that are combined with experimental works.
 Successfully conducted magnetically responsive micro-mixing functionalization of nanofiltration membranes using a series of chemical reactions, including hydrophilic polymer chain formation on membrane surface using SI-ATRP (surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization).
 Performed nanofiltration membrane performance tests under various conditions and using different retended species to investigate concentration polarization and membrane fouling.
 Completed mathematical modeling of ion transport and concentration polarization during nanofiltration processes under varied conditions.
