Roberto is currently a Systems Engineer for Corning GmbH. He works on multiscale modelling and experimental characterization of structured adsorbents for carbon capture, from both direct air and point sources. He recently graduated from the University of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Prof. Brandani. His PhD work focused on the modelling of monoliths for gas adsorption, the development of a novel thermodynamic model for both gas and liquid multicomponent adsorption, and the use of thermal frequency response to characterise mass transfer in fast diffusing systems. He holds a BSc in...Read more

My name is Rollie G. Mills and I am a second year PhD candidate at the University of Kentucky under the guidance of Dr. DB. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Kentucky, where I did undergraduate research with Dr. DB on PFAS removal from drinking water using responsive membranes. Dr. DB inspired me to pursue my passion for STEM during my undergraduate studies, and continues to inspire me daily during my graduate studies. My current research encapsulates environmental remediation of water and air sources from toxic pollutants using functionalized...Read more
