Microporous Inorganic Membranes, Novel Porous Materials and Porous Structures
Two postdoc positions are available (Dec. 2024)
One position is on nanoporous membranes. The research focus is to synthesize novel microporous membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration. Expertise on nanoporous materials/coatings/membranes synthesis and characterization is desired.
Another position is on microporous crystalline membranes. The research work will be focused on synthesis, characterization and separation and catalysis application of these membranes. Expertise on zeolite/MOF/COF membranes and catalysis is highly desired.
Please contact Prof. Yu by email (myu9@buffalo.edu) if you are interested or have questions. Please also attach your CV and contact information for at least two referees to the email.

Research Interests
The Yu Research Group at UB is focused on rationally designing or assembling nano-materials into advanced functional structures, characterizing these nanostructures, understanding their functioning mechanisms, and exploring applications ranging from fuel production, energy conversion, gas storage, to chemical separations. Our main goal is to improve energy efficiency for fuel production, separation processes, and environmental pollution reduction. We are committed to solve problems related to Energy, Environment, Water and Food.
