Tackling Global Challenges with Polymer Membranes
With the world’s population growing, the need for clean water, energy, and medicine is greater than ever. At the Oh Lab, we are dedicated to advancing the world’s most important, but challenging, separations in the environment, energy, and health sector. We do this by focusing on the molecular-to-macroscopic design and characterization of polymer membranes.
What We Do
We mimic biology’s high selectivity and efficiency through the design and development of novel polymer membranes. Our goal is to overcome limitations in current separation technologies to build a better future for people and planet.
Environment
We are building separation tools that enable the world’s important but challenging separations to reverse climate change and filter dangerous radionuclides in spilled waste to protect our planet.
Healthcare
We are building separation tools that can be implanted into a patient’s body, to capture unwanted toxins and therapeutics in real-time
Energy
We are building separation tools that enable the world’s important but challenging separations to reverse climate change and filter dangerous radionuclides in spilled waste to protect our planet.
Our Methods
We specialize in designing innovative membranes with innovative applications.
The fundamental research conducted at the Oh lab plays a pivotal role in creating membranes for diverse applications such as liquid, gas, and vapor separations, resource recovery and recycling, chemical and biochemical manufacturing, environmental remediation, energy storage, and health-related devices.
