My name is Antonio Mascaro. I am a Morgantown, WV native, and I graduated from WVU with my B.S.ChE in 2022. I joined the group as a graduate student in the fall of 2023 in pursuit of a master's degree and subsequently switched to the doctoral program in 2024. My work covers modeling and optimization of membrane separators, specifically focused on high-purity hydrogen from an intensified biomass gasifier process. In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports - mainly lacrosse and soccer. I also enjoy cooking, running (or being drug around by my dog!), and weightlifting.
