Drawing on 25+ years of experimental membrane R&D and multiphysics modeling at leading corporations and universities.
End-to-end development of polymeric membranes for microfiltration, virus filtration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, gas separation, among others — from concept to manufacturing.
Translating 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.
Nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) interpreted through ternary phase diagrams and process path analysis — connecting compositional evolution to membrane microstructural evolution.
Equation-based continuum modeling of transport phenomena, thermodynamics, and phase behavior — built to complement and interpret experimental data, not replace it.
Helping clients extract more from their analytical investments — interpreting SEM, cryo-SEM, AFM, porometry, porosimetry and spectroscopy data through theoretical lenses.
Project management, technical community building, and mentorship for 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. The deliverable is not a slide deck — it is mechanistic understanding that survives scale-up.
