New Opportunities for Membrane Technology in the Production of Next Generation Gene Therapies January 31st, 1:00 – 2:00pm CDT, EER 3.640/3.642 or on Zoom: 828 685 7838

Congratulations to our new M-WET "graduate," Matthew Landsman, on his new job as an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University! He is beginning his new position this month (January 2025).

The Texas Academy of Medicine, Engineering, Science and Technology (TAMEST) awards Joan F. Brennecke and Benny D. Freeman with the 2025 Hill Prize in Engineering “for developing advanced, stable and energy-efficient membrane technology to separate olefins (such as ethylene and propylene) from paraffins, a process crucial in many industries including petrochemicals.”

Congratulations to M-WET's own Timothy Quah, for successfully defending his doctoral dissertation on, "Algorithmic Advances for Extending Polymer Field-Theoretic Simulations" at UC Santa Barbara under Glenn H. Fredrickson, December 2024.

This lecture provides insights into the interactions controlling the characteristic nano-morphology of Nafion membranes and how this translates into hydration and transport properties of this benchmark material.

This talk summarized traditional ion exchange membranes [IEMs) developed in the laboratory and provided a perspective of next generational IEMs. October 16, 2024, 6:00 - 7:00pm CDT, Zoom 828 685 7838

In this lecture, Dr. Asatekin describes how her group's membrane research can lead to the broader use of membranes and solve some of the insufficient selectivity and/or fouling limitations of membranes. September 20, 2024, 1:00 - 2:00pm CDT, EER 3.646 or by Zoom 8286857838
