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.

This research advances the fundamental understanding of the interplay between bonding interactions at the ligand-metal binding site with the interactions in the surrounding environment and uses the insights to guide our design of new separation systems.

The overarching goal of this project is to elucidate how interfaces and dimensionality affect chiral transport phenomena by targeted modification of the underlying many-body electronic, magnetic, and lattice interactions in heterostructured quantum materials.
