Congratulations @Rutesh_L_G on your third prize student poster award at the @txdesal conference! 💧💧Rutesh presented our lab's work on contorted polyamide desalination membranes. Many thanks to @txdesal for hosting a great event!
Great presentation by @Rutesh_L_G at the 2025 Texas Soft Matter Conference held @RiceUniversity! 👏👏Rutesh presented his work with @RahulShevate1 at NCL-Pune on roll-to-roll fabrication of proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for fuel cell technology. Excellent work! @UHEngineering
Congratulations to PhD candidate Erin Schroeder @ErinSPicton on successfully defending her dissertation proposal! 🎉🥳Erin is engineering supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) for direct lithium extraction. Thank you committee and collaborators @UHEngineering @insadelyon
Welcome Rutesh Gaikwad @Rutesh_L_G to @UHEngineering! Rutesh is a PhD student with @RahulShevate1 at NCL-Pune. We look forward to working with him to advance contorted polyamide desalination membrane technology. Welcome to Houston! 🤠
Great work by @SayaliShaligra1, @RahulShevate1, and
@Siddhartha_0505 with funding from @usbr! @UHEngineering
Researchers @UHouston make clean water more accessible by creating a new salt-blocking membrane bit.ly/3D8SrDK
Incorporating contorted monomers in polyamide membranes increases free volume and improves their permselectivity. 💧🌊 Check out our @usbr-funded work by @SayaliShaligra1, @RahulShevate1, and @Siddhartha_0505 published in @ACS_AMI. @UHEngineering pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
Congratulations Marcela Strane on your Best Graduate Poster award at the Society of Wetland Scientists @SWS_org Student Section Virtual International Conference!! 🏆 Marcela presented her research characterizing microplastics at the land-water interface. 👩🔬 @UHEngineering
Congrats Dana R. Flores on your @J_Membrane_Sci publication! 👏Dana quantifies the contributions of different solute rejection mechanisms in nanofiltration using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as model materials. 👩🔬Thank you sponsors @NSF and @AMTAorg. doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.202…
Introducing Dr. Dana R. Flores! 👏👏Congratulations Dana on the successful defense of your Ph.D. dissertation "Modeling Nanofiltration Separation Mechanisms in Covalent Organic Framework Membranes." 🍾🥳 We are so proud of your accomplishments! Congrats! @UHEngineering #PhDone
Congratulations Dr. Parisa Taheri on earning your Ph.D.! 🎓@Pari3a_Taheri successfully defended her dissertation "Scalable Synthesis and Separation Performance of Covalent Organic Framework and Contorted Polyamide Membranes." Great work from a great researcher! 👏@UHEngineering
Incroyable! @ErinSPicton has been named a @ChateaubriandUS Fellow! She will spend the fall researching supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) for lithium extraction with @jannick_duchet at @insadelyon. Congrats Erin! Thank you @FranceintheUS for your sponsorship. 🇫🇷🇺🇸
Congratulations Tristan on your selection as a @UHouston Energy Scholar! 🎉Tristan will research membranes for direct lithium extraction, a continuation of their work as a @UHteachHOUSTON researcher. Great job Tristan! 👏@uhoustonenergy #UHEngineering
