Mamadou S. Diallo

Professor Mamadou Diallo was trained both as an engineer and physical chemist. His current research interests and activities focus on the use of dendritic nanomaterials (e.g. dendrimers, hyperbranched polymers and branched polymeric microparticles and nanoparticles) as building bolcks to develop novel adsorbents, membranes and filtration systems for water treatment, reuse and desalination. During the last 7 years, Prof. Diallo has been pioneering the applications of dendrimer nanotechnology to water purification while serving as the Director of Molecular Environmental Technology of the Materials and Process Simulation at Caltech. In 2007, Prof. Diallo co-founded the start-up company Aqua Nanotechnologies (ANT) to scale-up and commercialize high performance media for water treatment and environmental/industrial separations.
