Hello! I’m Salman, currently a Research Professional at the University of Minnesota.
My previous postdoctoral training with Prof. Kaihang Shi focused on understanding selectivity mechanisms in zeolitic membranes for applications in energy storage and chemical seperations. Prior to that, I completed my PhD from Clemson University in Prof. Sapna Sarupria’s group where I investigated fouling mechanisms in polyamide water purification membranes.
