The overall goal of this project is to investigate fundamental issues of gas separations by nanostructured architectures and unconventional media that selectively bind and/or transport target molecular species via tailored interactions.
The overarching goal of this research project is to understand how to control selectivity through tuning cooperativity in multi-functional catalysts.
High burn-up (HBU) (>45 GWd/MTU) nuclear fuel is associated with increased corrosion and hydride precipitation and high levels of irradiation-induced damage to cladding and fuel pellets. To support eventual disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF), there is a need to test and evaluate the mechanical behavior of SNF under normal transportation condition.

The overarching goal of the proposed research is to understand and control the chemical reactions that govern hydroxylation and carbonation processes during direct air capture of CO2 using MgO.

The overarching goal of this project is to understand and control disorder-induced changes in superconducting and topological states across atomic to mesoscopic length scales with quantum microscopies that will guide the development of emerging superconducting quantum devices.
