My research interests are focused on how to experimentally improve the water flux and restrict the salt passage for the forward osmosis (FO) membrane by changing the support layer’s hydrophilicity or its geometry. I am also interested to model different digital membrane geometries and simulate their impacts to the mass transfer including the water and the salt in FO application.
