About The Position
This summer project will use molecular dynamics simulations to study the porosity of novel polymer membranes for CO2 capture and conversion applications. The student will build polymer models, run simulations to probe their nanoscale structure, and calculate properties related to free volume and porosity. The goal is to understand how polymer architecture and rigidity influence membrane porosity and, ultimately, selective ion transport. The project will contribute to the design of next-generation selective anion exchange membranes guided by computation and experiments.
