External Advisory Board
-
Amy Childress
External Advisory BoardGabilan Distinguished Professorship in Science and Engineering and Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Dr. Childress' research addresses the global challenge of fresh water scarcity. Her current research interests focus on membrane contactor processes for innovative solutions to contaminant and energy challenges; pressure-driven membrane processes as industry standards for desalination and water reuse; membrane bioreactor technology; and colloidal and interfacial aspects of membrane processes.
-
Anita Hill
External Advisory BoardChief of CSIRO Process Science and Engineering
Dr Anita Hill is Chief of CSIRO's Process Science and Engineering division, which has a staff of more than 350 people across five Australian sites. Dr Hill's work is building Australia’s international standing in the field of nanostructured materials and processes." Dr Hill's role is to guide the organisation’s processing and metal production activities. She has a keen understanding of the importance of translating lab research into industry technology. Dr Hill is also an Office of the Chief Executive (OCE) Science Leader with CSIRO, and a Fellow of the Academy of Technological Sciences (ATSE), as well as a member of the Boards of the:
- Membrane Society of Australasia
- Institute for Technology Research and Innovation (Deakin University)
- Journal of Polymer Science (editorial board)
-
Jim Kubicki
External Advisory BoardChair and Professor of Department of Earth, Environmental & Resource Science
Research Interests: Mineral-water interactions, organic and nutrient adsorption onto soils, C and H isotopes in organic compounds, cellulose and lignin chemistry. General interests are in thermodynamics, spectroscopy and reaction mechanisms in geochemical systems.
-
Jeff Long
External Advisory BoardProfessor of Chemistry and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering
Research in the Long group focuses on the design and controlled synthesis of novel inorganic materials and molecules toward the fundamental understanding of new physical phenomena, with applications in gas storage, molecular separations, conductivity, catalysis, and magnetism. We employ a range of physical methods to analyze and characterize our materials comprehensively, including by gas adsorption analysis, X-ray and neutron diffraction, various spectroscopic techniques, and SQUID magnetometry.
-
Bill Mickols
External Advisory BoardOver twenty years in the water industry. Lead scientist for The FilmTec Corp. Developed and commercialized greater than ten commercially successful membranes. Fundamental chemistry patents (over 50 patents and applications). Expertise in water sustainibility and RO/NF/UF/IX and solving water plant problems.
-
Bruce Moyer
External Advisory BoardCorporate Fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), specializing over a 43-year career in both fundamental and applied aspects of separation science and technology, especially on the chemistry of solvent extraction and ion exchange.
-
Ingo Pinnau
External Advisory BoardProfessor, Chemical and Biological Engineering, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
Professor Pinnau's research interests are in membrane processes for the separation of gases and liquids: natural gas treatment, CO2 sequestration, hydrogen recovery, olefin/paraffin separation and water purification. His research focuses on synthesis of high-performance polymers; development of high-performance membranes for gas and liquid separations; hybrid organic/inorganic membranes; nanostructured microporous polymer membranes; thin-film technology; and membrane modifications (surface coatings/fouling resistance).
-
Lynn Walker
External Advisory BoardProfessor of Chemical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University
Research in the Complex Fluids Rheology group focuses on understanding and controlling complex, or structured, fluids in engineering applications. Walker’s group’s work is primarily experimental and involves rheometric characterization, classical colloid and macromolecular analytical techniques, small-angle scatterning and microfluidic tools. They collaborate closely with others in the Center for Complex Fluids Engineering. Two main themes, Impact of Nanoscale Structure on Rheology and Behavior of Complex Systems with Fluid-Fluid Interfaces, run through the group and their interests lie in applying fundamental knowledge and ideas to real engineering situations.
