About Me

Scientific Field and Expertise

• Characterization of porous structure of materials using gas sorption analyses, mercury intrusion porosimetry and helium pycnometery
• Developing and synthesis of porous carbon-based adsorbent materials
• Investigation of the ability of carbon materials to capture air pollutants, such as CO2 and volatile organic compounds
• Evaluation of selectivity, kinetics and isosteric heats of sorption process

Porosity Analysis Methods: Gravimetric and Volumetric sorption analyses, Mercury porosimetry, Helium pycnometery
Thermal Analysis Methods: Differential thermal analysis (DTA), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Thermodilatometry (TD), Hot-stage microscopy
Other methods frequently used in my work: Raman spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)
