    • Education Background
      • University of California at Berkeley   B.S., chemical engineering; minor, business administration.,2001
      • University of California at Santa Barbara Ph.D. chemical engineering.,2005

     

    • Research Topic
      • Crystallization process engineering
        We study several aspects of crystallization process engineering, including batch crystallization, reactive crystallization, membrane-assisted crystallization and eutectic-freeze crystallization.
      • Sustainable process development
        We study the development of sustainable chemical processes, including processes that reduce consumption of energy and raw materials and processes that utilize renewable feedstocks.
