Scientific Field and Expertise

• Characterization of porous structure of materials using gas sorption analyses, mercury intrusion porosimetry and helium pycnometery
• Developing and synthesis of highly porous carbon-based adsorbent materials
• Investigation of the ability of carbon materials to capture air pollutants, such as CO2, CH4 and volatile organic compounds
• Evaluation of selectivity, kinetics and isosteric heats of sorption process
• Synthesis and characterization of oxide-based glasses with determined properties
