Welcome!

Welcome to the website for the Adsorption and Ion-Exchange Laboratory, where we study fundamental questions related to the interactions of liquids and gases with adsorbents in biopharmaceutical and environmental applications.

These fundamental questions concern both the thermodynamics and the kinetics of adsorption. We emphasize the connection of basic research to applications of societal importance.

We invite you to explore the pages on this website to find out more about our laboratory. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact us.
