Research areas:

Gas transport properties in porous metal-organic networks (MOF) and covalent organic networks (COF) and materials further developed from them (porous liquids and glasses). The materials are used as membranes for energy-efficient gas separation. These include application areas such as hydrogen purification, carbon capture and natural gas upgrading, as well as the production of high-purity basic chemicals for chemical production. A branch of my membrane research also deals with the purification of chemically contaminated wastewater. I also work on capacitive and optical sensors (mainly gas sensors) with MOF thin films.

The aim of the present project is the development of novel membranes by combining polymer membranes and nanoporous inorganic adsorbents in so-called mixed matrix membranes or composite membranes. Zeolite powder and Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are to be used as adsorbents. The research group carries out basic studies on the adsorbents (MOF, zeolites), their modification for optimal embedding in the polymers, on polymer and membrane synthesis, on the investigation of the transport and separation properties and on the modeling of the mass transport. The objective is membranes for paraffin/olefin separation and aliphatics/aromatics separation. Both separations are among the most energy-intensive thermal separations in chemistry. In addition, the membranes are examined with regard to their hydrogen and carbon dioxide separation properties and their use for material separation via pervaporation.

Research Areas:

• Digital Chemistry: We leverage data-driven techniques to develop materials that work real world. We develop novel modeling, and sequential decision-making approaches with novel inductive biases and increased explainability and robustness to enable this.  
• Polymerinformatics: We design novel representations and modeling approaches for dealing with the challenges posed by polymers
• Research data managment: We develop tools that allow us to capture the tacit knowledge of chemistry.
