Design and characterization of charged block copolymers for ion-ion separations and nanofiltration (NSF)
Goal is to stablish polymer chemistry-processing-structure-transport property relationships and design principles for nanofiltration and ion-ion separations
Candidates with strong background in (1) polymer physics or (2) organic chemistry (anionic synthesis) and/or (3) membrane science are invited to apply.
Collaboration with Prof. Scott Milner (computation) at Penn State, Prof. Ralph Colby (dielectric measurements and polymer physics) at Penn State, and structural analysis in LBNL, SSRL and NIST
Design and characterization of highly selective chelating polymers for ion-ion separations (Li separation) (NEOM)
Goal is to establish polymer chemistry-processing-structure-transport property relationships for chelating polymers for ion-ion separations, in particular, Li-separation in sea water
Candidates with strong background in (1) polymer chemistry or organic synthesis and/or (2) polymers are encouraged to apply
Collaboration with Prof. Bruce Logan at Penn State
Design and characterization of 3D printed biosponge adsorbing polymers for selectively capturing toxic chemotherapy drugs before they spread though the body (3M Non-Tenured Faculty Award)
Candidates with strong background in (1) polymer chemistry and organic synthesis for 3D printing and/or (2) materials design for SLA or DLS type 3D printing and/or (3) polymer membranes are encouraged to apply.
Collaboration with UCSF Medical School, Caltech, Virginia Tech, and Purdue
If the prospective postdoc candidates will attend the 2022 AIChE meeting in Phoenix, AZ between Sunday, November 13 and Friday, November 18, please send your CV to hjoh@psu.edu to schedule an in-person meeting to discuss the research opportunities.
