Xinrui Cai completed her undergraduate studies in Chemical Engineering at University College London (UCL) and is currently pursuing a PhD degree within the same department. With a profound fascination for interfacial adsorption and crystal growth on a molecular scale, she has directed her research endeavours towards unravelling the intricacies of these phenomena. Her ongoing project focuses on delving into the fundamental mechanism behind hydrate formation while considering the influence of additives. Employing the power of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, she aims to shed light on...Read more
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University at Buffalo. In my research, I develop, engineer, and characterize novel sorption-enhanced membrane materials for CO2 capture. I’m working on designing and preparing advanced membrane materials and separation techniques as clean, energy-efficient, and low-cost alternative technology to the conventional energy-intensive methods. I am working to discover the underlying mechanism of structure/properties relationship in novel membranes for gas separation, in which the process can be carried out...Read more
