Membrane technology is one of the state-of-the-art technologies for water treatment, capable of removing a wide spectrum of contaminants from water. I am typically interested in the membrane fabrication and filtration process. By understanding the fabrication-property-performance relationship, we are able to design better membranes, and the knowledge of solute-membrane interaction provides guidance to optimize filtration process. I am eager to dissect the black box of membrane science, making it a cost-effective approach to alleviate water scarcity.
