Congratulations to PhD candidate Erin Schroeder @ErinSPicton on successfully defending her dissertation proposal! 🎉🥳Erin is engineering supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) for direct lithium extraction. Thank you committee and collaborators @UHEngineering @insadelyon

Welcome Rutesh Gaikwad @Rutesh_L_G to @UHEngineering! Rutesh is a PhD student with @RahulShevate1 at NCL-Pune. We look forward to working with him to advance contorted polyamide desalination membrane technology. Welcome to Houston! 🤠

Incorporating contorted monomers in polyamide membranes increases free volume and improves their permselectivity. 💧🌊 Check out our @usbr-funded work by @SayaliShaligra1, @RahulShevate1, and @Siddhartha_0505 published in @ACS_AMI. @UHEngineering
