Current Research
At Ohio State, I have been working on inorganic and hybrid inorganic/polymer membranes, for gas separation and water purification, including:
- Membranes for CO2 capture from flue gas (mesoporous γ-alumina, microporous silica, porous graphene).
- Dense nano-composite ceria-based membranes for O2 production.
- Piezo-electric water filtration membranes for self-cleaning and fouling prevention.
Characterization of the synthesized membranes by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry, gas transport and water transport instrumentation and measurements occupy a significant part of my work.
Past Research
My research at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece (2003-2011) focused on electrical properties of materials. Main topics were the dielectric characterization of various materials (inorganic powder compacts, ceramics, polymers, organic liquids and solid-in-liquid dispersions), thermally induced metal-gas interactions, as well as electrodeposition of semiconducting thin films on metal substrates.
