Drawing on 25+ years of experimental membrane R&D and multiphysics modeling at leading corporations and universities.
Guide end-to-end development of polymeric membranes for microfiltration, virus filtration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, gas separation, among others — from concept to manufacturing.
Translate bench-scale chemistry into stable, uniform manufacturing on web lines: slot die coating, phase inversion, and drying — with fine microstructure control across web spatial dimensions.
Perform process path analysis on ternary phase diagrams to analyze nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) process — connecting compositional evolution to membrane microstructural evolution.
Model advanced transport phenomena, thermodynamics, and kinetics using continuum equations — built to complement and interpret experimental data, not replace it.
Help clients extract more from their analytical investments — interpreting SEM, cryo-SEM, AFM, porometry, porosimetry and spectroscopy data through theoretical lenses.
Manage research and development projects, build technical communities, and mentor membrane teams — particularly valuable for early-stage startups establishing core capabilities.
We approach each engagement as a scientific investigation: define the governing physics, identify the controlling dimensionless groups, design the experiments that matter, and close the loop with equation-based modeling and/or data analysis. The deliverable is not just a slide deck — it is mechanistic understanding that survives scale-up.
